About Us
Who We Are
OCCHS was formed in 1971 as a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of historic Campbell County, Georgia and the documents, images, artifacts, and information that are part of our community.
What We Do
Our preservation activities include authenticating and filing the documents and images entrusted to our care. Using best practices, we clean and display a variety of artifacts for display in our museum. We also work diligently to keep our research library organized and accessible for community use.
Research Library
Resources
Our research library is packed with books, documents, newspapers, maps, and photographs relating to Campbell County (now much of south Fulton County and Douglas County), and surrounding areas. Much of this material is not available elsewhere. We also have a microfilm reader available for viewing microfilms.
Our volunteer staff are passionate about all things Campbell County and eager to help you in your research. Feel free to reach out to us with any questions you may have. You can type your question into the contact form below, stop by the train depot during normal business hours, or give us a call at 770-969-5618. We look forward to serving you!
