GHHN is the statewide, go-to service organization for responsive assistance, interpretation, and collections care. Our program services are local, professional, and statewide. We offer grants, workshops, webinars, consultations, technical assistance, a resource network, and professional development opportunities to advance the work of historical societies, historic house museums, heritage centers, historic sites, archives, and libraries.
