HERITAGE & HISTORY ARCHIVES

A Home for our Town's History

We worked to scan hundreds of photographs and printed documents that have been placed into an easily searchable archival database that is now live and allows anyone with online access to learn more about our Town and its rich history.

OUR MISSION

To initiate and provide support for events, public facilities, projects, programs, and services that improve the quality of life in Corte Madera, build community spirit and enhance Corte Madera’s small-town character.

HERITAGE & HISTORY ARCHIVE

We worked to ensure that our new Town Hall will include space for the new Corte Madera Heritage and History Archives, a treasure trove of materials documenting the delightful history of our town that will be available to the public both in-person and online.
