About the California History Center (CHC):
As we enter the 21st century, the vision for the CHC is to be the hub
for California Studies in the Santa Clara Valley. We continue to develop
a dynamic, multidisciplinary, California Studies program which includes
new courses, lectures and workshops for students, staff and community,
and a variety of other activities. The hope is to provide a place
where students, faculty, staff, and community can enter into dialogue and
grapple intellectually with what California means, what it is and what it
can become; in other words to educate the residents of this state to be
informed participants in determining California's future.
