Founded in 2025, the San Gabriel Valley Humanities Center (SGVHC) supports local scholars and brings humanities research to the public. Located in the San Gabriel Mission District, across the street from San Gabriel City Hall and near the San Gabriel Mission Playhouse, the Center offers offices for scholars in residence and hosts talks, workshops, and discussions for the community.
