The Broward County Historical Commission serves as Broward County’s historic preservation agency. It was created by ordinance in 1972 to encourage awareness of local history and to preserve the artifacts of our heritage. The 20-member board is assisted by a professional staff and a corps of dedicated volunteers. The scope of activities encompasses such topics as land and marine archaeology, historic preservation, oral history, publications and civic programs. In addition to publishing the historical journal, Broward Legacy, which is available by subscription, and annually cosponsoring “Pioneer Days,” the Historical Commission provides research and archival facilities, and lends technical advice regarding historic preservation projects.
