Mission: Oakland heritage alliance is a non-profit membership organization which advocates the protection, preservation, and revitalization of oaklands architectural, historic, cultural and natural resources through publications, education, and direct action.
Programs: Oakland heritage alliance engages residents, policymakers, elected officials and others in exploring strategies to preserve oaklands irreplaceable cultural and architectural heritage. Activities sponsored by the organization focus largely on educational, outreach and advocacy programs. Each summer our award winning walking tours introduce hundreds of people to oaklands diverse architectural, cultural and natural heritage. These tours bring history alive and help people explore oaklands vibrant and history-filled neighborhoods. Each year, to honor those who are helping preserve oaklands history, whether it is the restoration of homes and commercial buildings, serving as preservation advocates, or preserving an important cultural heritage, oakland heritage alliance presents its annual partners in preservation awards. Our monthly lectures series brings outstanding preservationists, historians, architects, and cultural leaders to discuss important preservation issues with members and the public. One of the key roles oakland heritage alliance plays in the city is to voice citizen support the protection of oaklands historic resources.
