ARCHIVES
Our Archives is a repository which holds the historical collections of Gwinnett Historical Society. These collections include documents, photographs, genealogies, maps, textiles, personal papers, books, publications, and other artifacts which significantly reflect the history of Gwinnett County from pre-European contact and into the twentieth century.

Use fees for images intended for commercial and non-profit purposes will be assessed.
The Archives are open by appointment only on Fridays from 10:00 A.M.- 2:00 P.M. Here is a list of what is available in our ARCHIVE COLLECTION at our location. Email archives@gwinnetths.org to schedule an appointment to see any of GHS archive collections in-person.
Or are you a stranger without even a name,
Forever enshrined behind some glass pane,
In an old photograph, torn and tattered and stained,
And fading to yellow in a brown leather frame?
- Eric Bogle
