Collection of Original Company Negatives Donated to Society
A collection of original Central of Georgia company negatives and contact prints from the 1930s and 1940s has recently been donated to the Society. The negatives and prints were recovered from one of the CofGa’s office buildings in Savannah, Ga., a number of years ago.
The collection consists of 922 original negatives and 719 contact prints (most of the contact prints are made from negatives in the collection), all in original envelopes with typed identification. There are images of many different subjects, including operating equipment, trackage, buildings, facilities, people, and agriculture.
Some of the original envelopes with typed identification
Some of the images were used in Central of Georgia Magazine during the 1930s and 1940s.
Several of the original contact prints and negatives. All will be cleaned and stored in archival sleeves and envelopes.
A number of the negatives and prints need to be cleaned. All will then be indexed and placed in protective sleeves which will then be put in acid-free envelopes.
The Society is grateful for this donation!
