历史对象收藏的历史
尽管辛辛那提历史学会成立于1831年, 它的收集主要集中在档案材料上. A concerted effort to actively collect the material culture of the region began in 1986, 当时计划在辛辛那提联合车站建立一个博物馆. At that time a Curator of Historical Collections was hired to manage the collecting and research and preserve the 历史文物和美术品 collected. The Curator of Historical Collections also assisted in the design and installation of museum exhibits. The 历史文物 Collection has grown from a relatively modest collection of approximately 10,000件文物在1989年增加到40多件,2010年有1000件文物. 1990年末，历史文物和美术收藏被搬到了8号楼,在联合客运大楼的下层有一个000平方英尺的储藏室.
A part-time Curator of Costumes was hired in early 1991 to oversee the collecting, 编目, 研究和照顾历史服装和装饰艺术收藏. The curator retired in 2002, and the position was left vacant for budgetary reasons.

美术收藏的历史
辛辛那提历史学会从19世纪开始收藏精美的艺术品, 当绘画, 版画和雕塑是由辛辛那提家族和公司捐赠的. 此时此刻, most of the paintings were displayed on the walls of the library and busts and other sculpture were displayed in the main reading room. 从1981年开始, about 400 pieces from the art collection were professionally conserved through a special program sponsored by the First National Bank of Cincinnati. These pieces were of Cincinnati-related subjects and works by Cincinnati artists selected for their significance. 作为项目的一部分，物品被清洁、修复和重新设计.
在1990年末, the 美术 Collection was moved from its old storage location in the Cincinnati Historical Society Eden Park building to an 800 square foot storeroom in the lower level of the new Cincinnati Museum Center at 结合终端. 1995年，自然艺术收藏与美术收藏合并. In 2001, the 美术 Collection was moved to its present location at the Geier Center. 今天, the 美术 Collection is widely exhibited throughout Cincinnati Museum Center and is actively used in research and publications.
