Sponsoring a Plaque
“See the World on A.B.A. Cheques,” First National Bank postcard, Sarah Wikander Collection.
Do you have a favorite landmark building or historic site that deserves a plaque?
You can initiate the process for one. Would you like to have a plaque placed in honor or memory of someone, or recognizing a particular site, with credit given on this website? Would you and your friends, your business, or your neighborhood group consider funding a plaque? Let us know and perhaps your interest will lead to Berkeley having yet another plaque for others to discover.
Volunteers work in close consultation with the City, owners of landmarked buildings, neighborhood groups, the City’s Landmarks Preservation Commission, and other sponsors when researching and reviewing texts and determining plaque placement.
