The Garland
County Historical Society, founded in 1960 with 58 charter members, was
organized for the purpose of preserving historical records and relics as well as
publishing records and articles of interest about Hot Springs and Garland
County. For over forty years, it has been the primary source of information
about the history of the area. The 12,000+ photographs, numerous newspapers,
manuscripts, maps, and secondary sources, comprise one of Arkansas' most
outstanding local history collections.
The Garland County Historical Society is continuously adding to its collections
of printed material and photographs through the generosity of individuals and
businesses who donate historical items, papers, books, photographs, and family
records, either duplicates or originals, concerning early residents, homes,
business, etc. We would hope that everyone who has, or comes across, such items
continues to do so. We could not have maintained the award winning RECORD, as
has been done over the past 48 years, without the support and assistance of all
our wonderful officers, members, and contributors!!
