The Broward County Historical Commission was created by ordinance in 1972 to encourage awareness of local history and to preserve the artifacts of our heritage. The nineteen member board is assisted by a small staff and a small group of dedicated volunteers. The scope of activities encompasses such topics as land and marine archaeology, historic properties, oral history, publications and civic programs. The Commission provides research and archive facilities, and co-sponsors an annual "Pioneer Days" event. Additionally, it publishes the Broward Legacy Historical Journal, which is available in print (individual copies or subscriptions for sale at our office). It also can be read online via the FAU Special Collections link to the right.
