Mission Statement
The Newport Beach Historical Society connects people - past, present and future - by collecting, inspiring, educating, preserving and protecting the unique and vibrant history of the City of Newport Beach, including Balboa, Corona del Mar, Newport Harbor, its islands and offshore, the Back Bay, Newport Coast and Newport Mesa. The Newport Beach Historical Society was formed in 1967. It was incorporated as a non-profit 501(C)(3) corporation in December 2014.
Description
The first two priorities for NBHS are: 1) to preserve the living past of Newport Beach and 2) to establish a repository of historical documents, photographs, films, and memorabilia. We must develop an advanced system to catalogue and preserve these materials. To achieve the goal of establishing a repository of historical documents, we have a 501c3 designation for NBHS so that all donations are tax-deductible.
