Focus:
Shaping San Francisco, enjoying its 25th year in 2023, is a participatory community history project documenting and archiving overlooked stories and memories of San Francisco. We do this in a variety of ways. We have a vast digital archive at foundsf.org where we invite everyone to contribute to our shared history. We held Public Talks regularly at 518 Valencia; during the pandemic we came up with our new preferred activity: the Urban Forum: Walk ‘n’ Talk, where we explore little visited hilltops, neighborhoods, stairways, and more all over the city. We co-host history programming with other organizations around the Bay Area. We conduct walking and bicycle history tours at least a half dozen times each season, and have two seasons of Talks and Tours each year.
Bioregion Description:
We live along the shores of the San Francisco Bay which is fed by dozens of local creeks and waterways, as well as the massive river system of California’s interior.
