Happy Birthday, Cumberland Island National Seashore! 🎉
Established October 23, 1972

Today we celebrate the anniversary of a place unlike any other—where wild beaches, rich history, and quiet forests come together to create an unforgettable experience.

Cumberland Island National Seashore was founded with a powerful purpose:
“That in order to provide for public outdoor recreation use and enjoyment of certain significant shoreline lands and waters of the United States, and to preserve related scenic, scientific, and historical values, there is established in the State of Georgia the Cumberland Island National Seashore.”
— Public Law No. 92-536 (10/23/1972)

For 54 years, this special island has protected natural wonders, honored cultural stories, and welcomed visitors from around the world to explore its beauty.

Here’s to continued conservation, discovery, and enjoyment of this extraordinary national treasure.

Happy Birthday, Cumberland Island!

Historical Library vs Archives. What's the difference? While there is a great deal of overlap archives tend to focus more on unique materials that may have different preservation requirements. Here is a great source to learn more about the difference: https://guides.lib.unc.edu/musicresearch/libraries-and-archives All though our name changed the mission at the Bryan-Lang never changed; preserve Camden county's history for all generations. This includes our own history such as our original sign which now hangs on the wall in our file room.
