Nebraska Memories: Making Nebraska's past unforgettable

Nebraska Memories is a cooperative project to digitize Nebraska-related historical and cultural heritage materials and make them freely available to researchers of all ages.

The site uses the CONTENTdm Digital Collection Management Software to house digital collections created by Nebraska libraries and cultural heritage institutions.

The Keene Memorial Library in Fremont, the Polley Music Library in Lincoln City, Alegent Health Immanuel Hospital, the Bess Streeter Aldrich House and Museum, the Lincoln Police Department, Omaha Community Playhouse, and the Durham Museum are some of the contributors.

The database currently contains approximately 3,500+ digitized items and continues to grow each month. Primary source materials such as manuscripts, diaries, photographs, sheet music, maps and oral histories are being targeted for inclusion. At this time searchers can find material from the 1890s to the 1970s. The Nebraska Memories website is owned by the Nebraska Library Commission.
