Archives Overview

In pursuit of SRHA's mission, we have acquired a significant body of original material that will benefit historians, modelers, academics and other researchers in the years to come.  This material includes the Southern Railway Presidents' Files, original and microfilm copies of equipment and structure drawings, photographs, and other documents chronicling the nearly-100 years of Southern Railway's existence. 

Currently the association's archives are being relocated into the Museum of Southern Museum of Locomotive and Civil War History in Kennesaw, GA. 

 The SRHA archive has already benefited Southern Railway historians through articles in TIES magazine, and through reference books published by SRHA and others.  Additional articles and books are presently in preparation.  We look forward to the day when the archive material is available more widely -- in a dedicated, climate-controlled facility.
