Please visit the Georgia Room to view our current exhibit, In Small Things.
Inspired by In Small Things Forgotten: An Archaeology of Early American Life, by James Deetz, this exhibit highlights the small objects of everyday life in the early twentieth century Central Savannah River Area. The excavated objects are from the Savannah River Archaeological Research Program collection, as well as from donations and loans.
Savannah River Archaeological Research Program manages approximately 2500 known archaeological and historical sites within the Savannah River Site through compliance, outreach, and research.
In Small Things is an exhibit of recognition and connection using everyday artifacts that provide an invaluable window into the past. The featured objects may be small, but they had a larger purpose in their everyday use. They improved the lives, in some way, of those who used them.
The exhibit will be on display from January – March 2026 in the Georgia Heritage Room of the Augusta-Richmond County Public Library. Our hours of operation are Monday – Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
