The Johns Creek Historical Society
Still Needs a History Archives Space

Help us find a location to create a record of the past that's available to the public today and for future generations.

A goal of the Johns Creek Historical Society is to gather in one place the records and stories of the past to create both a physical and digital archive to preserve Johns Creek's history and make the records available to the public.

Currently, the growing contents of the history archives are housed in a private location. While not accessible to the public, information in the archives is constantly shared with both local, Georgia, and out-of- state researchers, authors, and family genealogists. Not having an appropriate space continues to negatively affect efforts to engage residents' help in preserving local history and our ability to accept valuable artifacts and documents.

Drawing above was proposed to meet needs in 2019. In the 7 years since, the research materials and archived items of the historical society have increased significantly.

Minimum Archives Space Needs - A climate-controlled and secure space in Johns Creek with:

• A locked storage area
• An area for history research that accommodates file cabinets, a map cabinet, a desk, work table, and digitizing equipment
