Everyone is welcome to become a member, and our events are commonly open to the public. We are dedicated to promoting the appreciation and understanding of Southern California’s rich architectural history. Our mission is education and outreach. Although we naturally favor the preservation of outstanding examples of historical architecture, we are not an advocacy organization for specific preservation causes. We offer a robust schedule of on-site tours, lectures, discussions, and other events in support of our mission.
