Nebraska State Historical Society Opening


Mark your calendars! The Library and Archives portion of the Nebraska State Historical Society in Lincoln, Nebraska will be opening on March 9th. This is great news for those of us who been without their resources for what seems like ten years. Actually it has been fourteen months of construction and renovation.

The regular hours for using the Library and Archives will apply. They are Tuesday-Friday 9 to noon and 1 to 4; Saturday 8 to 5. You will want to visit the Nebraska State Historical Society web page for more details. They have a new leaflet in PDF format which you can download and read before returning to do research in the newly renovated room.

The Nebraska State Historical Society is located at 1500 R Street in Lincoln, Nebraska. It is wise to also plan ahead for parking as it is on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. There are parking garages not too far away and metered parking (if available) along R Street.
