History of IAM

The Idaho Association of Museums is a statewide membership organization serving the needs of museums and related institutions, large and small, across Idaho.

IAM holds meetings and workshops around the state throughout the year, advocates for the interests of its members in legislative and other matters, and publishes a newsletter, a guide to Idaho museums and a periodic directory of all known museums in the state.

Historic houses, interpretive centers and sites, zoos, heritage sites - all are potential members of IAM. IAM is a not-for-profit organization, and contributions to it are tax deductible. IAM also provides scholarships to members for professional development.

IAM is an affiliated state organization of the Western Museum Association.
