Welcome to 2024

Sponsors and Donors Urgently Needed!!!

Dear Members, Friends, and Archivists,

The Marina del Rey Historical Society (MdRHS) serves Marina del Rey as a primary local source of the area’s historical archives and information.  In order to showcase the exhibits and historical resource of our community in our Fisherman’s Village gallery, continued funding and community involvement is needed.

Community involvement is the key.  We are reaching out to everyone to ensure that our historical archives are accessible to those who live here and to those who visit our community that have an interest in the Marina’s heritage.

Dedicated in 1965, Marina del Rey at 57 years old, is one of the youngest communities in Los Angeles.  However, the rich history of the Marina is not well known.  We are amazed at the number of local residents who visit the gallery and tell us they were unaware of the area’s history.

To further Marina del Rey Historical Society’s educational history and outreach to the broader population, continuous funding is necessary.

All donations receive a limited 50th Anniversary Pin, donations of $100.00 receive a FREE 8.5 x 11 photo, donations of $500.00 receive a FREE 11 x 17 photo, donations of $1,000.00 or more receive a FREE 16 x 20.  To choose your photo visit the MdRHS gallery in Fisherman’s Village or our website at www.marinadelreyhistoricalsociety.org

Please help by donating, and spreading the word.
