The State Historical Resources Commission (SHRC) is a California state commission responsible for identifying, registering, and preserving historical resources throughout the state. It traces its roots back to the 1850 founding of the Society of California Pioneers which existed to preserve records of early California. Originally established as the ‘’‘Historical Landmarks Advisory Committee’’’ in 1949, SHRC was reorganized into its current form in 1974 under California Public Resources Code §5020.
