We believe the preservation of the cultural and physical history of our area brings an understanding to the past and present, and provides a guide for the future. The Marquette Regional History Center not only maintains exhibits, artifacts and a research library, it is a forum for engaging the community and creating links between people.

The Marquette Regional History Center is a 501c3, private non-profit organization that was established in 1918. We rely on membership, fundraising events, donations, and admission fees to continue to provide our community and visitors with high quality, educational programming and exhibits.

Marquette County Stories of the Pandemic
|
The Marquette County, Michigan, Stories of the Pandemic is a collaborative project initiated by Northern Michigan University, the Peter White Public Library, and the Marquette Regional History Center. The Project seeks to document and curate the experiences of individuals, families, and organizations (business, schools, local government, civic groups) living and working in Marquette County, Michigan, as they deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.
NMU is hosting and managing the Project’s website and will curate material for use by the public and researchers for decades to come. Individuals, families, and organizations maintain create records that document their experiences with the Pandemic. We hope they will participate in this project by proactively identifying and saving relevant digital material, such as correspondence, journals and diary entries, photographs, audio recordings, and moving images of their experiences during the Pandemic. The Project provides an online mechanism to maintain and share this information with the entire Marquette County community. |

Organizations receiving a MACC grant award are required to match those funds with other public and private dollars. Local business support of the MRHC include: Swanson, Mercier & Associates, First Bank, TV6, Rotary, and Eagle Mine to name a few. The History Center receives significant volunteer support from the community. We have over 50 active volunteers. Without their help we could not provide the things people have come to expect from us. These dedicated people work with our curator, our educator and with school groups and present public programs, they help with all aspects of the research library and at the front desk welcoming guests. Thank you to our business supporters and to every one of our volunteers!
The MACC peer review process allows for each grant application to be competitively considered by a panel of in-state and out-of-state arts and culture professionals. This ensures the residents of Michigan and visitors will have access to the highest quality arts and cultural experiences.
