Greene County History Week was established in 2016 to provide an opportunity for all of the area historical societies, organizations, and repositories to collaborate and share various collections and artifacts that illustrate the county’s rich and diverse history.

As the Archivist for Greene County, Robin is responsible for preserving and making accessible Greene Counties’ public records. Old dusty records that many believe are not important really can have an impact on our lives. These records include: early birth and death registers; marriages, wills, estates, land and tax records; commissioners’ journals; and criminal and civil court records. All of these documents record official Greene County business and some aspect of our history. The county records that are preserved by the Greene County Archives document the legal rights of the people, provide for government accountability, tell the story of our community and provide all Greene County residents with a common sense of identity.

Each local historical society, organization, structure, and archival repository in Greene County preserves some piece of the county’s history. Greene County History Week provides us with an opportunity to bring together the diverse collections and records of the county to show a more complete history. Alone, these organizations hold the individual quilt squares of our collective county history, but by collaborating with each other, we can see the entire historical quilt. Old places, buildings, and records contribute to people’s sense of who they are, where they came from and their current place in the world. These artifacts and records preserved throughout the county not only tell the story of Greene County residents who came before us, but also provide the public with a sense of continuity, identity and our cultural heritage.

During Greene County History Week, June 16th thru June 22nd, we hope that you’ll take a moment to visit some of the area historical societies, organizations, and/or archival repositories. These important organizations need your support in order to continue the important work that they do to ensure that Greene County’s history will be accessible to future generations.
