Preservation

The SRS Museum is dedicated to the preservation of the fascinating history of the Savannah River Site. The Museum was established to preserve and interpret the technical and scientific achievements, social impacts, and ecological accomplishments at SRS.

This is a continuing effort to preserve photographs, artifacts, and objects that highlight the historical significance of the Site during the atomic age and beyond.

The Savanah River Site Museum accepts artifact donations that relate to the Site's history on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us at SRSMuseum@gmail.com to speak with Museum staff should you have a SRS-related artifact and wish to donate.
