The collection was donated to the Sherman Library by the Corona del Mar Centennial
Foundation, 2005-2006.
Organized as a 501(a) nonprofit organization in October 2003, the Corona del Mar
Centennial Foundation was created to support fundraising in order “to further the
economic and social enhancement of the...community” in conjunction with the
celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the village of Corona del Mar,
California, in 2004. Composed primarily of community volunteers, the Corona del Mar
Centennial Foundation was governed by nine Board members and one non-voting
Executive Director. Centennial initiatives and events included a gala opening
reception at the Sherman Library and Gardens, the creation of a Centennial Plaza at
the intersection of Coast Highway and Marguerite as part of a beautification and
time capsule project, the gala black tie “Neptune’s Ball”, a weekend party at Big
Corona del Mar State Beach, a historic walking tour, and the publication of The
History of Corona del Mar: Centennial Issue by Douglas Westfall.
