Description

San Diego History Center preserves the region's history and tells the diverse story of its past, present, and future. It educates and enriches the community while fostering civic pride. During the pandemic, it opened two new exhibitions in Balboa Park with online components that focus on San Diego's Black History & Heritage: Nathan Harrison: Born Enslaved, Died a San Diego Legend and Celebrate San. The Object Collection, Document Archives, and Photography Collection make up its historically significant three main collecting areas with approximately 16,000 items altogether.
