Founded in 2017, the San Jose Signs Project is a partnership between PAC*SJ, historical organizations, the community, and local businesses. We believe that signs are important place markers in our collective story, and that San Jose history should remain in San Jose.
The mission of the San Jose Signs Project is threefold: to educate, advocate and to preserve!
