The Mt. Diablo Surveyors Historical Society was founded in October 1990, with an initial membership of eight Land Surveyors. The society is a California Non-Profit Public Benefit Corporation, incorporated on April 2, 1991 and organized under IRS 501(c) (3) guidelines. The Society is governed by a Board of 5 Directors pursuant to Articles of Incorporation in accordance with Society Bylaws adopted on October 2, 1991.
The Society membership is committed to preserving the artifacts and records of land surveyors who have worked in and around or have been influenced by the Mount Diablo Meridian located in Contra Costa County in Northern California. To this end, the Mt. Diablo Surveyors Historical Society is accumulating equipment, records, photographs and documents, which represent and support this endeavor. The Society's founders and past members were all present-day noted surveyors who have exerted tremendous effort to keep the Society's goals in the public eye.
