About the Florida Historical Society

Created in St. Augustine in 1856, The Florida Historical Society is the oldest existing cultural organization in the state, and Florida's only state-wide historical society. While operations ceased during the American Civil War, the Florida Historical Society was reestablished in 1902, and incorporated in 1905. The Society is dedicated to preserving Florida's past through the collection and archival maintenance of historical documents and photographs, the publication of scholarly research on Florida history and historic preservation projects. Florida Historical Society headquarters are located in the Library of Florida History in historic Cocoa Village. Our building was originally a US Post Office built in 1939. The Society operates the Florida Historical Society Press which publishes a diverse selection of interesting books, maintains the Library of Florida History with its extensive archival collections, hosts the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) East Central Region, and manages the Historic Rossetter House Museum. We publish scholarly research in the critically acclaimed Florida Historical Quarterly and host fascinating panel discussions and other public events at the Annual Meeting in May. Since January 2009, Florida Frontiers: The Weekly Radio Magazine of the Florida Historical Society has joined the Florida Historical Quarterly and the publications of the FHS Press as another powerful tool to fulfill the Society's mission of collecting and disseminating information about the history of Florida.
