The Michigan Centenary Stamp

Many postage stamps have featured Michigan and its unique landmarks. The
first, the Michigan Centenary Stamp, debuted on November 1, 1935. The Post
Office Department, now the United States Postal Service, issued nearly 76
million of the Michigan Centenary Stamps to mark the 100th anniversary of
Michigan's Constitutional Convention.

Thank you to all of our volunteer judges! Michigan History Day State Finals

We asked, and you answered! Thank you to everyone who volunteered to be a
judge for our Michigan History DayR State Finals event in Bay City. 

Michigan History Day, an educational program of the Historical Society of
Michigan, is a yearlong educational program that encourages students to

Have you heard of the Michigan History AllianceT?

The Michigan History AllianceT is a regionalized program that helps our
member organizations preserve and promote history by fostering
collaboration, sharing information and best practices, and providing
training for their staff and volunteers. Each regional alliance meets at
least twice a year to bring together representatives from HSM member
historical organizations in several counties. The gatherings feature a
speaker to address a topic of interest and allow for conversations among
each region's historical organizations. Attendance at the Michigan History
Alliance networking sessions is free of charge for current member
organizations of HSM. Membership is required for participation.

Alliance meetings also offer separate three-hour History Skills Workshops
led by authorities in the field. Workshops offer in-depth training on such
topics as exhibit design, collections management, fundraising, and website
creation. There is a fee to attend the History Skills Workshops.
