The Hub is open to the public from Tuesday to Saturday and features a Research Room with a wealth of local resources, including documents, photographs, and maps.

HRGS also publishes a bi-monthly magazine, "The Archive," contributing to local history knowledge while encouraging community participation through various events, talks, and volunteer opportunities.
