Shasta Historical Society - sponsor of the Gregorio & Pilar Alzueta Memorial Scholarship

Vision: To build a shared community legacy for the future by preserving our past.

Mission: To actively preserve, promote and bring to life the history of Shasta County.

The Shasta Historical Society was formed on January 18, 1930. Over the years the organization’s mission evolved to better serve the community of Shasta County, by actively working to promote and communicate local history. Today the Shasta Historical Society serves as the largest non-university center for historical research in California, north of Sacramento. In addition to maintaining the research library, the Society is active in the local community, hosting various free events throughout the year.
