The Historical Heritage Commission (HHC) was established in 1973 by the Board of Supervisors in order to protect, preserve, and promote the appreciation, recognition and preservation of historic resources in Santa Clara County. The HHC serves in an advisory capacity to the Board of Supervisors. It is comprised of 11 volunteer members, with 2 commissioners representing each of the 5 county supervisor districts and 1 member serving at-large.

The HHC typically meets the third Thursday of the month in the Board of Supervisors Chambers on the first floor of the County Government Center at 70 West Hedding Street in San Jose. Commission meetings begin at 6:30 p.m. and are open to the public. Contact HHC staff for placement on the Commission agenda.
