The Antonio J. Waring, Jr. Center for Public Archaeology is a research-oriented facility and repository within the Museums, Historical Sites, and Zoos sector, based in Atlanta, Georgia. Since the early 1970s, it has served as a regional hub for archaeological materials, housing thousands of prehistoric and historic collections in a secure, climate-controlled environment that meets federal curation standards (36 CFR 79). The center supports scholarly work by providing visiting researchers with research space and equipment for artifact analyses. In addition to research, it offers education and interpretation programs, including traveling teaching trunks for Georgia schools, on-site tours, and mock excavations for visiting groups, along with interpretive projects such as traveling exhibits and digital content. It also provides opportunities for students and volunteers to gain hands-on experience in artifact handling, curation, and exhibit development, complementing its public outreach offerings.
