Georgia Historical Society

The Georgia Historical Society in Savannah, Georgia, will purchase monitoring equipment for temperature, relative humidity, and visible and ultraviolet light. The monitoring devices will enable the society to maintain stable environmental conditions and ensure the long-term care of its collections, which include an original draft of the U.S. Constitution, a compass and snuff box belonging to Georgia founder James Edward Oglethorpe, and the correspondence of national figures such as U.S. presidents Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson and Confederate General Robert E. Lee.
