The Buffalo History Museum is a private nonprofit organization based in Buffalo, New York, dedicated to preserving and interpreting the region’s history. Working within the museums, historical sites, and zoos sector, it aims to maximize educational impact through innovative programming, partnerships, and collaborations, while expanding and enriching its collections to tell Western New York’s stories—from the everyday to the extraordinary. Accredited by the American Association of Museums, the institution operates with a small to mid-sized team and serves as a regional cultural resource. In December 2023, the museum launched the Blizzard of 2022 Collecting Initiative to collect community memories of Western New York’s December blizzard. The initiative illustrates the museum’s role in engaging the public to preserve local narratives and expand access to historical materials through collaborative projects.
