The Virtual Vault is currently experiencing intermittent technical issues. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience as we work to resolve the problem.

Welcome

The Georgia Archives identifies, collects, provides access and preserves Georgia’s historical documents. Whether you love history, or simply want to know how we serve the citizens of Georgia, we invite you to explore our website or visit us in the City of Morrow, located just south of Atlanta. We look forward to serving you!
