Welcome to Heritage Shared.org,
the web site all about the history of the San Luis Obispo County and the Central Coast of California.
Our members are local residents from all walks of life. We share a fascination with Central Coast histories and cultures, particularly as they relate to each other and connect our region to the wider world.
Heritage Shared fosters inclusive, participatory community histories, especially through historical research and interpretation, publications, history education, exhibits and public programs, and historic preservation. The organization also encourages cooperative ventures among Central Coast cultural organizations, believing that the past belongs to all of us and grows richer in the sharing.
HeritageShared.org strives to help
keep news about Central Coast history timely and easily accessible.
It
serves as a newsletter, calendar of
upcoming historically related events, medium for virtual tours of notable
historic sites and structures, and as an open archive of historical
resources for the convenience of the broader community.
