OCHS Office Hours

The OCHS office is open! For now, we are scheduling research appointments and will transition, eventually, to opening the first Saturday of every month.

In the meantime, board members may be available to assist you with your research questions and help you discover what materials we have.

If you need more information or are interested in becoming a volunteer, please contact us at info@orangecountyhistory.org.

Fund Created in Mike Miniaci’s Name

OCHS lost a kindred spirit in December 2021. Long-time OC Park Ranger Mike Miniaci passed away and his family wanted donations in his name to be made to the Society. Mike grew up in Stockton, CA and early on became fascinated with history; first ancient Greek and Roman and then Civil War. He long participated in a Civil War reenactment group. When he was assigned to George Key Ranch in Placentia he also was tasked with overseeing the Yorba Cemetery and Peralta Adobe. A new passion was ignited and Mike researched the history of the Santa Ana Canyon, encouraged the families of the region to start the Santa Ana Historical Council, and wrote several books. Electronic payments can be made on our Donation page or by making checks payable to OCHS with “Mike Miniaci” in the memo. Thank you for your consideration.
