Your dues and contributions go toward our mission of promoting, preserving, and celebrating the history of Santa Clara County. Members receive our quarterly publication, The Trailblazer, featuring the best stories of local history. Members are invited to our luncheons, where speakers and films showcase the forefront of historical research, and our members meet and socialize. Our Mary Lou Lyon Research Library, featuring many one-of-a-kind works and focused local history sections on our communities and ancestors, is open to members only.
The basic cost of annual and lifetime dues rarely covers the actual expense of having membership. That is because, for almost every member, the California Pioneers of Santa Clara County subsidizes the cost of your membership. We do this as a service to our members and the community.
Regular Member
Any resident of California for 35 years or more, or is descendent of a California resident of 35 years or more.
Lifetime Member
A Regular or Associate Member who pays for a lifetime membership rather than annual payments. This is usually a cost savings to the member.
