Archives at the Greenbelt Museum
The Greenbelt Museum maintains a professional archive comprised of a variety of records covering approximately 1937 through the present day, with the bulk of the records ranging from the late 1930s to the late 1950s. Included in the collection are flyers, articles, pamphlets, leases, deeds, community documents, cooperative-related items such as stock, yearbooks, postcards, maps, newspaper clippings, photographs, etc. Information on the development of the Greenbelt Museum is also contained in this collection.
