Voices: The Online Magazine of the Missouri History Museum

Voices, first launched in the fall of 2006, is published three times a year (spring, summer, and fall/winter). In keeping with MHM’s publishing program, Voices speaks of memory, place, commerce, families, race, neighborhoods, and art and music traditions as these topics pertain to St. Louis and regional cultural history. Excerpts from books and articles held in the archives of MHM provide first-person accounts of historical eras, people, and events, while personal essays and interviews focus on individual Missourians and the origins of communities, organizations, and movements in the St. Louis region. The magazine’s recurring departments provide a forum for how MHM fosters interest in history through community education and partnerships with other institutions and take the readers behind the scenes to learn more about various aspects of the work of the Museum and the Library and Research Center. Slide shows feature photographers’ personal viewpoints about an aspect of Missouri history, architecture, or communities.


Gateway: The Magazine of the Missouri History Museum

For almost 30 years, Gateway has given the members of the Missouri History Museum a forum for the historical, cultural, and social issues affecting St. Louis and Missouri. With beautifully illustrated articles on preservation and architecture, folk culture and oral history, music and theater traditions, and civil rights and African American history, Gateway revels in the diversity of our region. Essays on individual Missourians and the origins of communities, organizations, and movements in St. Louis illuminate the known and unknown, while interviews and photo essays contribute personal viewpoints.
