Montana Historical Society

The Montana Historical Society is the guardian of Montana's memory. Established in 1865, one of the oldest institutions of its kind in the West, the MHS's vast historic collections of artifacts, photographs, and documents are exhibited in six extraordinary galleries. In 1969, we became the official state Archives and the repository for state agency records of permanent value.

Since the founding of the Montana Historical Society in Bannack in 1865, our historians, curators and educators have worked as a team to save and share the stories of Montana.
