Increasing the size of the Norfolk Southern railroad collection at the Atlanta History Center

You may have heard my presentations about records relating to U.S. railroad history and railroad workers. A news story about additional railroad records popped up this week. Alas, I didn’t have a subscription to read the article in the Atlanta Business Chronicle. Checked for others and found more from Atlanta TV station WSB. 1000 more feet of railroad business records exchanged. The railroad collection is that of the Central of Georgia Railway. I love to hear about repositories cooperating with each other and love the Norfolk Southern for their large monetary contribution. Much of the Norfolk Southern collection had been move to Atlanta from its previous home at Virginia Tech University.
