Did you know that
Nebraska Memories is a collection of Nebraska cultural heritage collections? When you visit Nebraska Memories, instead of searching for a particular item or person, try clicking on “View Collections.” As a result, you will find Nebraska historical collections from (almost) A-Z. The histories of Nebraska hospitals, cities, towns, counties, public schools, colleges, libraries, musicians, authors, sports and historical events are all represented in the collections found in Nebraska Memories.
For example, the first collection listed is the Alegent Health Immanuel Medical Center. The rich and well documented history of Immanuel Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska is shown in the images of the early buildings, people and artifacts. The archive of thousands of photos, papers and items has been maintained for over 120 years, carefully stored and currently housed at the Alegent Health Immanuel Medical Center campus.
Other collections in Nebraska Memories include city and county historical societies, such as the
Crawford,
Fairmont/Filmore County,
Hastings,
Antelope County,
Butler County, and
Phelps County, to name a few.
Historical materials related to the
Lincoln Public Schools have been collected and saved in some form in various offices, library sites, and schools since the inception of the first school in Lancaster county. Over the years, LPS Library Media Services has made great progress in collecting, preserving, and archiving the history of LPS for the staff and the public.
There are other unique collections in Nebraska Memories as well: the
Omaha Community Playhouse (pictured right), that includes digitized images of the Playhouse and some of its performances; the
Lincoln Police Department, that includes digitized images of police officers from 1885-1907; the
Durham Museum in Omaha, with the William Wentworth Collection that consists of 4663 negatives of images that document life in Omaha, Nebraska from 1934 through 1950; and the
Bess Streeter Aldrich House and Museum in Elmwood, Nebraska (pictured below), images of which have been selected to give the viewer a deeper understanding of the influences and inspirations that Bess Streeter Aldrich drew upon when writing the 1928 novel “A Lantern in Her Hand.
