In 1981, the Jameson Sierra Madre Room was added to the Sierra Madre Public Library in order to house the rare books, California books, and archival collections assembled by the Sierra Madre Historical Society. In 1991, the Preservation Society of Sierra Madre joined with the Historical Society to form the Sierra Madre Historical Preservation Society. In 1999, the Sierra Madre Historical Preservation Society entered into a formal agreement with the Sierra Madre Public Library to share ownership of the Sierra Madre Historical Archives.
