Originally founded in 1955, The Historical Society was incorporated in 1963 as the San Francisco Negro Historical and Cultural Society. In 1970 it was incorporated as the San Francisco African American Historical and Cultural Society with the following purposes:


- To promote an understanding of the role people of African descent have played in world history.

- To collect a library of material depicting and recording the contributions made by people of African descent to world history and culture.

- To make available the Society’s materials and knowledge concerning people of African descent to all who may benefit by such information.

- To establish and maintain an African American cultural center in San Francisco.
