Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The Matheson History Museums mission is to preserve and interpret the history of Gainesville and Alachua County, Florida, and surrounding regions.

  • The Matheson History Museum is comprised of four buildings: the Museum, The Matheson Historic House (Florida Historic Landmark), the Library/Archives and a Tool Barn. It is the repository for family histories including the papers of the Matheson family, for whom the museum is named, early records of Gainesville area civic and social clubs, and documentation pertaining to local streets, early area businesses and residents. Collections include the Elmer Bone photograph collection, featuring local subjects from the 1920s to 1950s, an extensive map collection, historic tools and a variety of personal artifacts. The museum offers changing exhibits, lectures and programs related to our mission and serves as an important research facility for writers, scholars and historians.

    Expenses $304,273

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
