Georgia. Department of Archives and History

The Georgia Archives is the official repository of archival records for the U.S. state of Georgia, located in Morrow. Together, the Georgia Archives and the Georgia Capitol Museum form the Georgia Division of Archives and History, part of the office of the Georgia Secretary of State. The primary purpose of the Georgia Archives is to identify which state agency records are worth preserving for hundreds of years, transfer those records to the archives, protect them, and make them available to people who need them. In addition, the archives help state agencies and local governments manage active records and store the inactive records of state government in the State Records Center.
