MEMBERSHIP

Please consider joining the El Cerrito Historical Society. Your dues help fund the society’s programs and maintain our archive. Members receive the quarterly Forge newsletter in the mail and get advance notice of upcoming events. Annual membership is $30, sponsoring membership is $75 per year and a life membership is $400.

Making a donation

We are interested in donations of artifacts, documents and photographs pertaining to local history. We can accept outright donations or scan your materials for our archives and return the originals. And we are happy to accept cash donations.

Attending an event

We hold society board meetings once a month and schedule talks and walking tours throughout the year. All are open to the public.

Volunteering

We can always use another pair of hands to help with writing articles, organizing events, archiving donations and other activities.
