Founded in 1828, the motto of the Historical Society of Michigan is "Promoting our state, our stories since 1828." The Society does a terrific job if it. This website offers curious parties access to information about the state's history, along with materials on the Society's work, outreach efforts, and publications. On the homepage, visitors can learn about the Michigan History magazine and the Chronicle, which is the Society's membership magazine. Teachers and historians will enjoy the Resources area. Here they can make their way through a day-by-day historical calendar of events associated with the state's history and a set of additional research links, such as genealogy websites. The Conferences area includes information about the four major conferences the Society runs each year, along with information on training workshops.
