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!
