Collect, Preserve, Share
The Charlie Clark Center for Local History (CCCLH) collects, preserves, and shares resources that illustrate Arlington County’s history, diversity and communities.
Librarians and archivists develop collections of unique research material and make them available for use by residents, students, teachers, genealogists, scholars, authors, journalists and anyone interested in learning more about Arlington County.
The Charlie Clark Center for Local History operates a public Research Room at Central Library and maintains the Arlington Community Archives, an off-site archival repository.
Research Consultations are available by advance appointment.
