Throughout the 2024 year, join the Municipal Archives as we explore the theme of Children in the Archives. Each month, we will share some of our favorite images from the collections that feature children and youth in the Savannah community, from children at play to children at work, and much more. This month, we start with a few photographs of Savannah babies that caught our eyes and captured our hearts.
