Overview

The Department of History, Arts, and Libraries administers programs in four major areas: arts and cultural affairs, which includes administration of Michigan’s arts and cultural grants program; Mackinac Island State Park Commission, which oversees operational activities at the Mackinac Island State Park, the Michilimackinac State Park, and the Mill Creek State Park; historical program, which includes historical museum system, historical publications, archaeological, and lighthouse preservation activities; and library services, providing reference services to the public and Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches of state government, as well as assisting public libraries statewide. Public Act 75 of 2008 (SB 1177) transferred Film Office from the department to the Michigan Strategic Fund, effectiveMay 4, 2008. As a result the Revised Executive Recommendation and the Senate do not included funding for the film office. The House included the film office, because it passed the bill prior to the enactment of PA 75. The FY 2007-08 YTD figures above reflect transfer of the film office.
