Since 1963, the Southwest Florida Historical Society has worked to collect and preserve historical photographs and materials related to Southwest Florida. We maintain a small archive in a building located on the grounds of the Alliance for the Arts. We assist researchers and those interested in the history of the area and hold annual events and a monthly guest speaker series. While not a museum, we do occasionally exhibit materials.
We're a small, all-volunteer organization, and we're currently only open Wednesdays and Saturdays, from 9 to noon.
