All history is created in a single moment in time. Preserving history is the art of looking back to remember these moments, to learn from them and to pass them on. These moments can be mundane, these moments can be dynamic, these moments can rock the world.

As a member of the San Francisco Museum and Historical Society, you are given a unique and fascinating look at the moments that make up the history of this wonderful city.

Anyone can see that San Francisco is a beautiful city, but San Francisco Museum and Historical Society members develop a deeper understanding of the events that have influenced this city's emergence as truly diverse, colorful and compelling landscape.
