Biographical/Historical Information
The Wythe County Historical Society Library and Archives evolved from a project initiated in the late 1990’s by Town of Wytheville Department of Museum staff and Wythe County Historical Society volunteers. The goal of the project was to gather all of the newspapers, photographs, manuscripts, documents, and miscellaneous papers found in the Thomas J. Boyd and Haller-Gibboney Rock House Museums and organize them in a central location to create a resource center where they would be available for study by local teachers, students, and researchers. In 2001, when the Town of Wytheville and Historical Society created a long term plan and operating structure for the then small resource center, a Library Committee was established to develop operating policies, management procedures, and organizational systems for the library and its collections.
