Archives and Collections

The Archive Department at Thronateeska Heritage Center is dedicated to collecting and caring for the archives and artifacts that tell the story of Albany’s and southwest Georgia’s history. From applying restoration techniques and proper storage, to creating a digital database record of all items to displaying the items in our History and Science Museums, we strive to share your history with you.

In support of the City of Albany and Dougherty County, we scan permanent documents, such as the City Commission Meeting Minutes, Ordinances and Resolutions, going back to 1907, into a searchable database. In addition to scanning we are responsible for managing documents based on the GA Secretary of State Retention Schedules.

For Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital, we are their contract archivist, taking care of the archives and artifacts from their 100 years of life and care of Albanians.

If you have items that you no longer can care for and would like to donate that reflect your history in Albany and southwest Georgia, we would be honored to care for them for you.  We are available from 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday simply contact us at 229-432-6955 ext. 231 or by email.
