The Billy Joe Stiles ‘49
Archives Building
Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School’s Archives houses a vast collection of documents, photos, videos, and other media that chronicles the history of the School, dating back to 1903.
The mission of the archives is to collect, preserve, and protect a variety of original documentary materials containing information of permanent historical value relating to the history of the school. Mr. Billy Joe Stiles ‘49 and Mr. Jack Beaver began collecting items for the future archives in the early 1980s. The collection has a permanent home in the Billy Joe Stiles ‘49 Archives Building, located in the Alumni Heritage Center on campus.
