Fernbank has an active research program focused on Georgia archaeology that has grown to encompass ecology and geology—an apt combination of the core sciences found in our natural history museum. Fernbank's collections also reflect core natural history topics with key holdings in archaeology, geology, cultural anthropology, paleontology, malacology and taxidermy.
Fernbank Museum of Natural History is the new home to a world-class archaeological collection, The St. Catherines Island Foundation and Edward John Noble Foundation Collection.
Fernbank Museum of Natural History launched a new research effort in 2006—a search for the 17th-century Spanish mission of Santa Isabel de Utinahica.
Thanks to the generosity of Dorothy and Devereaux McClatchey, Fernbank Museum is home to this stunning collection of 500 objects of personal ornamentation and decorative arts.
