Welcome to the Archives of the Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation, located in the Presidio Research Center. The Presidio Research Center supports the archaeological, research, education, and curatorial programs of SBTHP and El Presidio de Santa Bárbara State Historic Park. Our collections focus on multi-format materials related to:

• the Presidio's political, social, economic, cultural, intellectual, and ecological history
• the Presidio Neighborhood, peoples and communities who have lived there through time
• the historic preservation movement in Santa Barbara County, including the role of the Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation in that movement
