The Henry County Archive & Genealogy Library are located on Grove Hill in Paris, Tennessee. The Henry County Archive houses old public records and the Genealogy Library is a resource for those doing research on their ancestry. Our work is done by many volunteers who graciously give their time and assistance and who are devoted to Henry County’s genealogical and historical research and record preservation.
Henry County Archive
The Henry County Archive is located in Paris in Weston Hall on the old Grove School campus. The Archive is the repository for the county’s old records which are no longer necessary for day-to-day operations of public governmental offices. Many date to the beginning of the county in 1821 and are of great historical value. They are placed at the Archive for preservation and protection and made available to the public per Tennessee state statute.

Henry County Genealogical Society
The Henry County Genealogical Society is dedicated to the preservation of and providing access to historical records of Henry County and assisting genealogists in locating those records.
