"[Our] connection to the past... is through the stuff that's left behind. It's not an imaginative connection, although imagination is part of it. It's about documents , it's about sources, it's about clues, it's about the leavings, the shards, the remnants of people who once live and don't live anymore. Without the documents, there's no history."--Laurel Thatcher Ulrich

Mission
The Historical Society of Long Beach preserves the past for the future, connecting people to history and to the place they live. We help develop an inclusive community narrative that gives residents a greater understanding of their role in the story of their neighborhood, the City, and the larger world. Through our programs, exhibitions, collections, and lectures we engage the community in thinking about what makes Long Beach unique.
