Review & FAQ:
The National Archives at Atlanta holds a public collection of civic and genealogical records created by federal agencies and courts throughout the American South, including records held by the states of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, and both Carolinas.
The archives are open to the public Monday through Friday during business hours, with the exception of major federal holidays, though visitors should note that records cannot be retrieved later than 4:00pm daily. In addition to genealogical records, all public visitors are welcome to research and retrieve materials from the archives' significant collection of civic and political records, including holdings related to American history, government, civil rights, technology, public health, community life, and military conflicts from the 18th through the 21st centuries. More than 180,000 cubic feet of materials are available, including documents, photographs, maps, and architectural blueprints. Several other archival resources are located adjacent to the facility, including the Georgia Archives and the archival studies program of Clayton State University.
