The organization was founded in 1987 as Los Fundadores, the Founders & Friends of Santa
Clara County. In 1999, to address a larger state-wide membership, the name was changed to
Los Fundadores y Amigos de Alta California.
The goal of the organization is to promote public awareness of Spanish and Mexican California,
and the early families that are associated with the founding of the modern state.
* A quarterly newsletter is published dedicated to disseminating information on the history and
cultural heritage of Alta California and its Hispanic families, with a genealogical timeframe of
1769-1852.
* Recognition is given to the indigenous Native Americans of California who settled the region
over 10,000 years ago.
* Public events are promoted to celebrate the pivotal events in the founding of early California.
* A permanent exhibit is maintained within the Los Fundadores & Pioneers Room at the
Headen-Inman House Museum owned by the City of Santa Clara and operated under the
umbrella of the Santa Clara Arts and Historical Consortium.
* Assistance with genealogical research is provided on a regularly scheduled monthly basis at the
Headen-Inman House by Los Fundadores president Evalyn Martinez and other members.
The directors of the organization are:
* President/Secretary - Evalyn Martinez
* Vice President/Treasurer - Franklin Maggi
