Become an Advocate for the Archives

The Archives always welcomes additions to its holdings. If you have, or know of, materials which relate to the history of Columbus and/or the surrounding area, or to the history of Columbus State University, please contact us. We are especially interested in collecting unpublished primary source material such as diaries, letters, scrapbooks, memoirs, business records, maps, photographs, and other items which document the diverse past and people of Columbus and the broader Chattahoochee Valley area. Monetary donations are also accepted.

The Advocates for the Archives (AFTA) supports the Archives and Special Collections in its mission to document and preserve the history and culture of Columbus and the broader Chattahoochee Valley area. Our annual giving program, funded by member contributions, provides us with critical support for ensuring our collections are preserved for future generations including sending documents to specialized conservation labs for treatment when needed.

Everyone is invited to become an advocate by contributing to the annual giving program. Please consider joining; your donation is an investment in history. The Archives also welcomes physical donations of research materials. If you have, or know of, materials which relate to the history of Columbus or the surrounding area, please contact us. All contributions are tax deductible.

For more information or to make an online contribution visit our giving website.
