Need a speaker for a meeting?

The Missouri History Speakers’ Bureau provides speakers on a variety of topics and time periods in Missouri history.

Adult nonprofit organizations, including service and religious groups, can request a maximum of 2 speakers per calendar year from the Missouri History Speakers’ Bureau. There is no charge to the host institutions, but the availability of presentations is limited. At this time, the Bureau provides speakers to adult nonprofit organizations only and not to elementary or secondary schools (K−12) or colleges or universities.

Please allow 30 days for arrangements to be completed. Due to limited funds for the reimbursement of speakers’ travel expenses, preference will be given to organizations located within 100 miles of the requested speaker’s residence.

Speakers Nancy Lewis (l) and Anne Mallinson (r) with River City Red Hat Society member Alicia White (in red hat), Jefferson City, Mo., 2/9/08

The Society invites donations to help maximize the number of presentations that can be sponsored and to help the Society provide this service at no cost to the host institutions.

Donations for the Speakers’ Bureau should be sent to:

The State Historical Society of Missouri
1020 Lowry Street
Columbia, MO 65201

Checks should be earmarked for the “Speakers’ Bureau.”

Contributions can also be made online.
