Overview

Mission

The Society's mission is to collect and disseminate State and local historical knowledge. A key component of this is the operation of the Wickersham House Museum. As a complement, the Society hosts free public lectures [in-person and via digital media], and sponsors publication of historical research findings and other materials. The Society collaborates with other organizations focused on Alaska's history, knowledge of it and preservation of the intellectual and built environoments. The Society obtains Federal, State, and Local grant monies and contracts in support of historic preservation and cultural resource managements, directly administering some grants and assisting in the administration of others.

What it reported doing in 2024

Facilitated cultural resource meetings between US Army and representatives of Alaska Native tribes affected by military activities: 1 meetings in 2024, at Fort Wainwright, principally via digital media. And, by means of signage, acknowledged military utilization and management of lands traditionally occupied by Alaska Native people.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 90% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 96% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
