Originally named The Society of California Pioneers in 1850, The State Historical Resources Commission is a nine-member state
review board, appointed by the Governor, with responsibilities for the identification, registration, and preservation of California's
cultural heritage. The commission members are professionals in the disciplines of history, archaeology, architecture history
and restoration, ethnic history, and folklife, in addition to two members that represent the public or possess expertise in
fields that the Governor deems necessary or desirable to enable the Commission to carry out its responsibilities.
