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!!
