The
Tustin Area Historical Society was founded in 1976 for the
purpose of preserving the rich and colorful history
of our local area. To accomplish this, we rely on membership
dues and proceeds from our Annual Old Town Home
and Garden Tour since there is no admission charge to visit
the Museum.
These
funds allow us to maintain and enhance our Museum, provide
programs to stimulate historical interest in
the area, protect historical papers and photographs for
future research and to continue our
“History in A Box” program for the over 100 third grade
classes in the Tustin Unified School District.
(Click
here for information on our History in a Box program.) |
As
a member of the Society, you will receive our newsletter “Heritage”
that announces the programs presented at
our general meetings and keep you up to date on Museum news.
Dues start at only $25.00 a year and are
tax-deductible.

Exhibitions
At TAHS we showcase exhibitions from our collection, as well
as visiting collections.
The exhibits are a way we can reach out to the city showing
it's history through a variety of media — using images, documents,
objects, and narrative given by our docents — all this helps
visitors understand the people, events, and issues that have
shaped Tustin and the local area. |
Collections
Since 1975 TAHS has been collecting historical materials. Our
archive contains thousands of items including documents, maps,
photographs, books, scrapbooks, yearbooks, architectural pieces,
textiles, uniforms,
advertising, menus, postcards, blueprints, publications, phone
and address directories, historical inventories, biographies
and objects. |
The following
are descriptions of some of the items in our archives.

Consider
a Donation
Our collections have grown largely from donations by individuals.
Whether the case of spring cleaning, getting
ready for a move, or, as often occurs when an older family
member passes on, children and grandchildren tasked with sorting
through a home full of objects, printed material, and memories,
the potential exists to make a significant historical find.
Sometimes things which may at first glance seem like little
more than dated curiosities
and ephemera are in fact potential subjects of historical
interest. An old company photo perhaps or an image of
the city from a bygone era, a letter from a noteworthy figure,
an old menu or map, a uniform, a model or figurine,
a yearbook or government, church, or social organization records
— all may be of value to a researcher or historically inquisitive
member of the public. We encourage you to consider contacting
us regarding any items pertaining to Tustin or Orange County
history which you would consider donating to the TAHS. Doing
so is one way you can help keep your family’s memories and
Tustin history alive for generations to come.
