Shasta Historical Society

The Shasta Historical Society is committed to the education and enrichment of the community through our museums, research library, community events, and publications. This rich history is now available online in a searchable database, under research collections.

The Shasta Historical Society would like to extend a warm welcome to our guests.  Located in the heart of historic Redding, the Society was formed on January 18, 1930 for the original purpose of collecting interviews of then-living area pioneers. 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.

The mission statement of the Shasta Historical Society is, "to collect, preserve, promote and communicate the history of Shasta County."
