The 14 founders of the Atlanta History Center could not have envisioned
their future impact when in 1926 they formed what was then known as the
Atlanta Historical Society.
Today, the History Center is located on 33 acres in the heart of Atlanta’s
Buckhead district and includes: one of the Southeast’s largest history
museums; a research library and archives that annually serves more than
10,000 patrons; two historic houses illustrating over a century of Atlanta’s
history; a two-acre midtown campus which houses the Margaret Mitchell House
& Museum; and a series of gardens unique in both design and horticultural
presentation in the metropolitan area.

TheMuseum Collection is regional in nature and includes objects dating
from the early 19th century to the present. At its core are those items
of Atlanta and its environs past and present, but in order to place the
history of the city in context, the collection also includes objects that
refer to the history of Georgia, the South and the nation. The Museum Collection contains approximately 40,000 catalogued items.
