Mission of the Tomales Regional History Center Mission of the Tomales Regional History Center Tomales Regional History Center is a nonprofit public benefit corporation organized exclusively for charitable, scientific, literary, or educational purposes within the meaning of Section 501.c.3 of the Internal Revenue Code. Our specific primary purpose is to educate the general public in the historical and cultural heritage of the local community included within, but not limited to, the Shoreline Unified School District.
Membership is open to anyone paying annual dues.
Business is conducted at a monthly meeting of the Board of Directors which is open to the membership. This sparsely populated area, rich in history, was a source of food and wood products via schooner and railroad for the early expansion of San Francisco. Starting with manuscripts by A. Bray Dickinson and photos by Ella Jorgensen the archival collection has grown to 8,000 items. These are currently filed in a small room at the Tomales Elementary School. To make this information more available to the entire Shoreline Unified School District community, including the schools, we have leased the old High School auditorium which needs to be brought up to code, an expensive but exciting endeavor.
