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.
