Who Are the Friends?
The Friends of the Sarasota County History Center is an independent, non-profit 501(c)3 organization uniquely positioned to help expand the Sarasota County History Center’s reach in our area.

What Is the History Center?
The Sarasota County History Center is a branch of the Sarasota County Public Library System with two main functions:

• Collecting, preserving, and sharing the world’s largest collection of historical records, artifacts, and reference materials relating to the history of Sarasota County, its communities, and its people.

• Administering Sarasota County’s historic preservation programs, which aim to identify and protect local historic structures and buildings and archaeological sites.
