San Francisco Heritage

The complete collection of Heritage News is now available online! Dating back to 1973, these newsletters provide a unique snapshot of the preservation movement in San Francisco, documenting the many successes and challenges in Heritage’s decades-long history.

The Heritage Newsletter debuted in the spring of 1973 and has experienced a dramatic evolution in nearly four decades of publication.
The 40th anniversary edition of Heritage News in 2011 reflected on the last several decades and the progress to come. (Fall 2011)
