“Local residents can become members of the historical society for a yearly fee. The following types of memberships exist: student, individual, family, grandparent, teacher, sustaining, supporting, pan am, collector, organization, and life members.”
“All members are entitled to vote for members of the board of managers.”
“The audit committee, authorized by the board of managers (includes 2 standing board members and 2 others) reviews the 990 and recommends the draft to the board. The board is provided a copy of the 990 for their own review prior to a board meeting. The form 990 recommended by the audit committee is discussed at the next board meeting and is approved with amendments, if any.”
“Board members are required to complete, sign, and date a statement disclosing any conflicts on an annual basis. The statements are reviewed by the governance and finance committees of the board. Board members with any conflicts are excused from the portion of any meeting where discussion and/ or voting on issues related to their declared conflict(s) take place.”
“Raises are approved by the board annually for all employees of the organization, including the executive director.”
“All documents are made available to the public upon request.”
“The process has not changed from the prior year.”
“The historical society does not capitalize its collections, consisting of various literature and artifacts related to the history of western new york. Proceeds from the sale or disposition of collection items are recorded as deaccessions revenue, and those funds are temporarily restricted to the replacement or conservation of collections.”
“The entire collection is held in trust for the public and is available for research and exhibition. Our collections deliberately reflect our mission, stewarded, managed and developed for over 150 years. The artifacts represent local and regional connections to national themes in american history. The historical society's collection highlights include: - the native american collection documents wny's first inhabitants. - the region's immigration narrative is represented by personal and household effects from the area's diverse ethnic and cultural groups. - industrialization, long-distance transmission of electricity, commerce, technology, and post-industrialization are expressed through artifacts from the erie canal, pan american exposition, bethlehem steel, bell aeronautics, shipping, automotive and biotech firms. - artifacts, beginning with the war of 1812, illustrate the local connection to the nation's military history, as well as protection of our international border and civilian efforts on the home front, are abundant. - objects focusing on presidential history, most notably fillmore, cleveland, mckinley, and theodore roosevelt, can be found in the collection. - we preserve the largest collection of textiles in wny, featuring quilts, samplers, lace and clothing. - the glass and ceramics collections track developments in technology, design, and consumer tastes during the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. - the painting collection documents two centuries of the region's changing landscape, and the people who helped shape the area's history. - our research library contains 20,000 books; 200,000 images; 7,000 postcards; 2,000 manuscript collections; 7,000 microfilms; and 10,000 maps, plans, and drawings.”
“The interest and dividends earned on the endowment funds are used for operations of the historical society. The principal of the endowment is invested in perpetuity.”
“The historical society believes it is no longer subject to examination by federal or state taxing authorities for years prior to 2010.”
“Investment income is reported net of investment management fees on the financial statements.”
