Collection Description

Historical Note

Habersham Mills was established in 1906 when a group led by S.Y. Stribling Sr., president of Roswell Manufacturing Company, purchased Porter Manufacturing on the banks of the Soque River in Habersham County, Georgia. The Atlanta-based owners converted the mill from wool to cotton yarn. Included in the purchase was a mill village of twenty-five houses. The village grew to one-hundred houses, a company store, and a school house for grades one through seven for the employees.

Several times over the twentieth century, the mill was modernized and changed ownership. When Russell Corporation of Alabama purchased it in 1977, the mill went to round-the-clock operation, and manufacturing changed from two-ply cotton weaving yarn to single polyester-cotton knitting yarn. The mill closed in 1999. Today, as part of an extensive renovation project, several of the mill buildings have special events and overnight lodging options for area visitors. Habersham Mills Records include ca. 45 linear feet of correspondence, invoices, freight bills, ledgers, journals, photographs, among other materials.

Scope and Content

This collection consists of the Habersham Mill's business records--sales and earnings figures, freight bills, shipping bills, bills of lading, store invoices, reports, business ledgers, and telegrams.

Organization and Arrangement

This is a preliminary finding aid. Additional details will be added once this collection has been fully processed.

The arrangement of boxes 1-40 reflect the order in which the shipping crates were unpacked, and thus does not follow a standard chronological sequence.
