PHOENIX FLIES 2025 | Kenan Research Center: Into the Stacks

While Kenan Research Center is free and open to the public by appointment, our storage areas (stacks) are not often seen by the public. This tour will go into the stacks where we will talk about what, why, and how we collect, as well as the measures of preventive conservation that we take to ensure that the materials in our stewardship are around for generations to come. We’ll also see some staff favorites, as we talk about the conservation, preservation, and digitization of archival materials, and how to adapt what we do to your own archival treasures at home. Tour guided by the Collections Manager.

• Tour is limited to 15 people. If the event is full, please sign up for the waiting list. You will be notified if a spot becomes available.
• We will be walking/standing on cement floors the entire tour, so please wear comfortable shoes.
• Check in at Kenan Research Center, McElreath Hall, Atlanta History Center Buckhead, 10 minutes prior to tour time.
