DEVOTED TO PRESERVATION
Our Gwinnett Historical Society is nonaffiliated with any government agency and was created as a non-profit organization with tax-exempt status. Our operations are financed solely through membership dues and donations. Members have graciously volunteered their time without compensation. These dedicated volunteers form our Society management and operate the Society's office and library on the second floor of the Historic Courthouse in downtown Lawrenceville, along with the 19.2-acre Elisha Winn Property in the Hog Mountain-Dacula area.
WHAT WE DO
The Gwinnett Historical Society hosts the county's only genealogy library containing over 2,000 publications, an archive collection of assorted county and family records, a map collection, a book store for county-specific publications, a microfilm research room, a growing collection of vintage and historic family photographs.
Image Reproductions
The Gwinnett Historical Society and our research library offer limited digital reproduction services of materials in its collections. Fees are based on scanning services and are available for materials that can withstand the process. More information on ordering and fees below.
User fees for images intended for commercial and non-profit purposes will be assessed.
