The Newport Beach Historical Society connects people – past, present and future – by collecting, inspiring, educating, preserving and protecting the unique and vibrant history of the City of Newport Beach, including Balboa, Corona del Mar, Newport Harbor, its islands and offshore, the Back Bay, Newport Coast and Newport Mesa.

The first two priorities for NBHS are: 1) to preserve the living past of Newport Beach and 2) to establish a repository of historical documents, photographs, films, and memorabilia. We must develop an advanced system to catalogue and preserve these materials.

The Newport Beach Historical Society Oral History Project collects the historical experiences, personal insights, and perspectives of prominent community members and longtime residents. The interviews help us to understand the culture, activities and stories of what it was like in Newport Beach over the years.
