Protecting Oakland’s historic and cultural resources.

Oakland Heritage Alliance is a 501(c)(3) non-profit membership organization which advocates the protection, preservation, and revitalization of Oakland's architectural, historic, cultural and natural resources through publications, education, and direct action.

 
 

WHAT WE DO

We host events

We host lectures, walking tours, and the Partners in Preservation Awards to continue conversations, engagement, and excitement around historic preservation and Oakland’s history. We record them so you can view them later if you cannot make it.

We ensure buildings are preserved

Our Preservation Committee advocates on behalf of members at City Hall to ensure new projects respect historic and cultural resources. Current projects include the Southern Pacific’s 16th Street Train Station in West Oakland.
