The Collection consists of materials generated during the projects to raise the Ironclad Muscogee and the fantail of the gunboat Chattahoochee and to establish the James W. Woodruff, Jr. Confederate Naval Museum, as it was known at that time, where these artifacts are housed. The collection contains correspondence (5 file folders), a minute book (1976-1974), a ledger book listing volunteer workers, and an audio tape “The Last Hope, the Story of the Gunboat Muscogee”, used on a radio show. Early publicity material includes museum brochures, Georgia Historical Commission flyers, state material issued during the Civil War Centennial, some of which paired this site with Fort Tyler in West Point,Georgia, and copies of articles dealing with the salvage and the museum.
