The Society commemorates historical events and honors persons who have played a particular role in Alhambra's history. Through the years taped interviews were recorded with long-time residents and descendants of Alhambra's pioneers to preserve an oral history of the city and its residents. In these endeavors the Society promotes historical education and the development of civic pride.
The objectives of this Society shall be to encourage and promote the research and study of history in its relation to the population and development of Alhambra and the surrounding San Gabriel Valley; as an archival and educational organization to collect, classify, publish and disseminate historical information, data and facts; to locate, restore, mark and preserve historical places and structures worthy of recognition; to acquire by gifts, bequests, purchase or otherwise real and personal property and interest therein and hold, use, lease, sell, convey and otherwise dispose of the same.
The Society also hosts off-site educational programs.
