The Historic Glenwood Foundation Archival Collection
The Historic Glenwood Foundation, Inc. is honored to house thousands of historic
documents and photographs related to Glenwood residents and others in the Kanawha
Valley. These invaluable materials, carefully preserved by family members over
generations, are now systematically organized into a searchable archive. This collection
serves as a valuable resource for students, authors, researchers, and anyone with an
interest in history.
The Collection reveals important events not only in local and state history but also in the
broader context of federal history. In addition to chronicling significant moments, these
documents provide a unique perspective on personal relationships, family life, and the
development of Charleston.
Efforts are currently underway to digitize the Collection. You can explore the growing
archive by clicking the button below. This is an ongoing project, so be sure to visit regularly as new documents are added frequently.
