DONATE YOUR TIME

Here are some of the needs we have for volunteers at  the Laguna Beach Historical Society:
— DOCENT one day per month at the Laguna Beach Historical Society’s Murphy Smith Bungalow.  Our bungalow on Ocean Ave is set up as a typical early home in Laguna Beach and is open to visitors on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 1-4 PM.  We will train you, and it’s fun!
— PROGRAM SPEAKER – Present a program/talk for our members.  Click here for a link to some of our past programs available to watch on YouTube.  If you have a subject you would share with us about the history of Laguna Beach, we would love to talk to you about it.  

DONATE HISTORICAL MATERIALS

We accept donations of photographs, written documentation, and other memorabilia about Laguna Beach.  Or may we borrow and scan your old Laguna Beach photos and return them to you?
