Real Stories of Michigan

The Michigan Historical Center collects, preserves and shares real stories of Michigan.

Our headquarters is in the state capital, Lansing, but our focus is statewide. Learn more about the services, education and cultural experiences that the Michigan Historical Center offers through:

• Michigan Historical Museum System
• Archives of Michigan

When you visit us at the Michigan Library and Historical Center, feel free to bring your wireless device—we offer wireless access to the Internet.

Where can you find former divisions of the Michigan Historical Center that are now administered by other state agencies?

• The State Historic Preservation Office and the Office of the State Archaeologist are now part of the Michigan State Housing Development Authority.
• Michigan History magazine is now published by the Historical Society of Michigan.
• Records Management Services
is now part of the Department of Technology, Management and Budget.

The Michigan Historical Center is proud to be advised by the Michigan Historical Commission. And we are grateful for the Michigan History Foundation, our partner in cultivating and maintaining fruitful public-private relationships that further the Center's mission.

We invite you to get involved with Michigan's past through volunteering, membership, sponsorship, artifact donation, financial contribution or another way that meets your needs and abilities.
