HSM is dedicated to connecting Michigan's rich history to its residents and organizations through various programs and initiatives. These include educational events, publications, awards, workshops, networking opportunities, and support for local history organizations. As a member-supported organization, HSM relies on donations and memberships to fund its operations. Unlike many state historical societies, HSM does not receive annual appropriations from the state budget. This unique funding model allows HSM to maintain its independence and focus on its mission of promoting Michigan's history and heritage. HSM's commitment to preserving and promoting Michigan's history sets it apart from other historical societies. Its focus on educational resources and programs for all ages makes it a valuable resource for students, educators, and the general public.[/description][ps]Educational programs, publications, awards, workshops, networking opportunities, support for local history organizations[/ps]
