Our Mission: The Center for Public History researches, documents, preserves, and promotes public discussion of the history and cultural, architectural, and folklife resources of the broader west Georgia region. The Center supports the mission and program of the History Department, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the State University of West Georgia. Drawing on the expertise and talents of university faculty and students through disciplinary and interdisciplinary collaborative projects, the Center engages in a wide range of research and educational public outreach services and programs in its service region.

Our Services: Faculty and students at the Center provide consultation and services in historical research, oral history, folklife fieldwork, architectural survey, exhibit development, and public and community program development for the wider university service region. Center staff serve museums, local governments, historical societies and organizations, historic preservation groups, businesses, industries, churches, civic organizations, libraries, schools, community groups, and private individuals.
