Access Original Paper Records at the Georgia Archives

You can view original records on-site at the Georgia Archives during our regular research hours. Appointments are not required, however for your convenience, you may wish to request records that you have identified in our Finding Aids, in advance of your visit.

To request records ahead of time, go to the Ask an Archivist webform and list the specific records you would like to review along with the date you plan to visit. Archives staff will respond to you via email, confirming your request and will have the records ready at the time of your arrival. Alternatively, you are welcome to request records on-site in the Search Room at the time of your visit.

• Staff will pull up to 5 boxes in advance. Additional boxes can then be requested.
• In order for Archives staff to pull your records, you must identify the specific record(s) that you would like to review.
• If you request an item that is available on microfilm or that has been scanned, staff will direct you to the film or scan. We will not pull original records that have been scanned or filmed, in order to protect the original.
