California Historical Society is a nonprofit, membership-based organization focused on making California's diverse history meaningful for contemporary life. Based in San Francisco, its headquarters at 678 Mission Street house the North Baker Research Library, exhibition galleries, a retail store, and administrative offices. The society serves members and the broader public, including researchers, educators, and history enthusiasts who seek reliable historical resources and context. It operates within the museums and historical sites sector, providing access to archives, exhibitions, and related programming. In 2024, California Historical Society announced a collaboration with the Santa Monica History Museum and Exhibit Envoy to present California's past through firsthand accounts that had been nearly erased.
