Cemetery Restoration funds are managed by the Rec. & Parks Department; RHS collaborates on priorities for the improvement projects; funding of a new retaining wall along highway 9 to stabilize the existing wall is currently on hold. Funds allocated for the project were reallocated by Mayor and Council during the 2020/2021 Pandemic.

ARCHIVE: An archive is an accumulation of historical records & the physical place they are located. Archives contain primary source documents that have accumulated over the course of an individual or organization's lifetime, and are kept to show the function of that person or organization. Our Challenge: • Out of Space-the Archives can no longer accept anything new into the collection • The effects of a Shared Space have taken its toll- presence of water intrusion, mold, improper ventilation, pests. • 50% of collection is under a Conditional Deed of Gift Agreement- “Collection can be revoked at any time in the event RHS ceases to exist or the archival environment & public access to the collection can no longer be provided according to the national archival standards” • Impact to Roswell- • Loss of King, Baker, Simpson Collections • Loss of 1840’s photo collection- the earliest type of photos on record. • Loss of the Civil War Collection, including personal letters from 5 US presidents with original signatures dating back to 1840’s • Roswell Manufacturing & Textile Mill papers • Rare piece of hair jewelry from Tiffany’s • No Museum in Roswell- Alpharetta/ Milton, Johns Creek, Sandy Springs and Marietta all have dedicated space and are vying for our collection.
Expand & Renovate the existing Cultural Arts Center • Improvement of the current facility much cheaper than new construction • Potential for corporate events with expanded meeting space, restrooms and kitchen area • Will allow addition of exhibit/ museum area for RHS • Create a more cohesive Cultural Center for both Business, Residents, and Visitors alike
