An archive is an accumulation of historical records & the physical place they are
located. Archives contain primary source documents that have accumulated over
the course of an individual or organization's lifetime, and are kept to show the
function of that person or organization.
Our Challenge:
• Out of Space-the Archives can no longer accept anything new into the
collection
• The effects of a Shared Space have taken its toll- presence of water
intrusion, mold, improper ventilation, pests.
• 50% of collection is under a Conditional Deed of Gift Agreement-
“Collection can be revoked at any time in the event RHS ceases to exist or the
archival environment & public access to the collection can no longer be provided
according to the national archival standards”
• Impact to Roswell-
• Loss of King, Baker, Simpson Collections
• Loss of 1840’s photo collection- the earliest type of photos on record.
• Loss of the Civil War Collection, including personal letters from 5 US
presidents with original signatures dating back to 1840’s
• Roswell Manufacturing & Textile Mill papers
• Rare piece of hair jewelry from Tiffany’s
• No Museum in Roswell- Alpharetta/ Milton, Johns Creek, Sandy Springs
and Marietta all have dedicated space and are vying for our collection.Expand & Renovate the existing
Cultural Arts Center
• Improvement of the current facility much cheaper than new
construction
• Potential for corporate events with expanded meeting space,
restrooms and kitchen area
• Will allow addition of exhibit/ museum area for RHS
• Create a more cohesive Cultural Center for both Business,
Residents, and Visitors alikeNonprofit Partner, City of Roswell
Working together to enhance the beauty of our charming town.
