• Promote research related to the history and genealogy of this area.
• Help preserve this material and make it available to all who are interested.
• Disseminate historical and genealogical information, newsletters lectures, tours, and other programs.
• Work with the tehama County Library to provide a repository for printed historical and genealogical material and photographs, and with the museums in the county for the preservation of artifacts and objects of historical value.
