Notes

  • -  Significance: The Georgia Historic Preservation Division, which serves as the State Historic Preservation Office for Georgia, determined the CSX bridge at MP A570.90 (Bridge A570.90) is a contributing resource to the National Register of Historic Places -eligible Savannah, Florida and Western Railway in June 2021. While SF&W is the common abbreviation for the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway, the Georgia Department of Transportation study uses the acronym SVFL for the line. According to Appendix C of Georgia's Railroads, 1833-2015: Historic Context and Statewide Survey, the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad (ACL) in Georgia is considered eligible in its entirety. In this report, the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) recommends the former SVFL (SF&W) as a contributing resource to the ACL system. GDOT recommends the ACL eligible under Criteria A, B, and C, with a period of significance from 1835 to 1967. Under Criterion A, GDOT found the ACL system to have significance in the areas of Transportation and Commerce due to the role of the railroad in connecting port cities on the Atlantic Coast with the interior of the state, which allowed for the export of agricultural goods and import of finished goods that drove commercial development in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The ACL was also found to possess significance under Criterion A in the areas of Exploration/Settlement and Community Planning and Development, as numerous station stops along its route developed into towns and cities that continue to serve as commercial hubs and population centers. GDOT also found the ACL to be significant under Criterion A in the area of Ethnic Heritage–Black, because portions of the system were constructed during the antebellum period by enslaved African American laborers, and the railroad corridors therefore serve as a physical representation of those laborers' contributions to the development of the state. GDOT found the ACL to possess significance under Criterion B for its association with Henry Bradley Plant, a railroad magnate who formed the ACL and directed its growth prior to his death in 1899. Under Criterion C, GDOT found the ACL significant in the areas of Engineering and Architecture due to its retained mid-nineteenth to early twentieth-century design, and the collection of extant depots across the state that reflect various architectural styles and construction method. The proposed NRHP boundary of the SVFL, as delineated by GDOT, corresponds to the historic right-of-way of the corridor's contributing mainlines and main branches, and "...generally contains all National Register-qualifying characteristics and features of the resource and includes the rail lines' alignments...railbeds... any cuts, built up grades and embankments, buildings, such as numerous extant depots, or structures, including the SVFL's steel-framed, through truss bridge over the Satilla River into Waycross." The Jesup-Folkston cutoff is included as a contributing section to the ACL. Therefore, as an original component of the Jesup-Folkston cutoff, Bridge A570.90 is a contributing resource to the NRHP-eligible ACL system.

Obtaining Copies

If Digital Images Are Displaying

You can download online images yourself. Alternatively, you can purchase copies of various types through Library of Congress Duplication Services.

HABS/HAER/HALS materials have generally been scanned at high resolution that is suitable for most publication purposes (see Digitizing the Collection for further details about the digital images).

  • Photographs--All photographs are printed from digital files to preserve the fragile originals.
    • Make note of the Call Number and Item Number that appear under the photograph in the multiple-image display (e.g., HAER, NY,52-BRIG,4-2).
    • If possible, include a printout of the photograph.
  • Drawings--All drawings are printed from digital files to preserve the fragile originals.
    • Make note of the Survey Number (e.g., HAER NY - 143) and Sheet Number (e.g., "Sheet 1 of 4"), which appear on the edge of the drawing. (NOTE: These numbers are visible in the Tiff "Reference Image" display.)
    • If possible, include a printout of the drawing.
  • Data Pages
    • Make note of the Call Number in the catalog record.

If Digital Images Are Not Displaying

In the rare case that a digital image for HABS/HAER/HALS documentation is not displaying online, select images for reproduction through one of these methods:

  • Visit the Prints & Photographs Reading Room and request to view the group (general information about service in the reading room is available at: https://aj.sunback.homes/rr/print/info/001_ref.html). It is best to contact reference staff in advance (see: https://aj.sunback.homes/rr/print/address.html) to make sure the material is on site. OR
  • P&P reading room staff can provide up to 15 quick copies of items per calendar year (many original items in the holdings are too old or fragile to make such copies, but generally HABS/HAER/HALS materials are in good enough condition to be placed on photocopy machines). For assistance, see our Ask a Librarian page OR
  • Hire a freelance researcher to do further selection for you (a list of researchers in available at: https://aj.sunback.homes/rr/print/resource/013_pic.html).
  • You can purchase copies of various types, including quick copies, through Library of Congress Duplication Services (price lists, contact information, and order forms for Library of Congress Duplication Services are available on the Duplication Services Web site):
    • Make note of the Call Number listed above.
    • Look at the Medium field above. If it lists more than one item:
      • The entire group can be ordered as photocopies or high-quality copies.
      • All the items in a particular medium (e.g., all drawings, all photographs) can be ordered as photocopies or high-quality copies.

Access to Originals

Please use the following steps to determine whether you need to fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room to view the original item(s). In some cases, a surrogate (substitute image) is available, often in the form of a digital image, a copy print, or microfilm.

  1. Is the item digitized? (A thumbnail (small) image will be visible on the left.)

    • Yes, the item is digitized. Please use the digital image in preference to requesting the original. All images can be viewed at a large size when you are in any reading room at the Library of Congress. In some cases, only thumbnail (small) images are available when you are outside the Library of Congress because the item is rights restricted or has not been evaluated for rights restrictions.
      As a preservation measure, we generally do not serve an original item when a digital image is available. If you have a compelling reason to see the original, consult with a reference librarian. (Sometimes, the original is simply too fragile to serve. For example, glass and film photographic negatives are particularly subject to damage. They are also easier to see online where they are presented as positive images.)
    • No, the item is not digitized. Please go to #2.

  2. Do the Access Advisory or Call Number fields above indicate that a non-digital surrogate exists, such as microfilm or copy prints?

    • Yes, another surrogate exists. Reference staff can direct you to this surrogate.
    • No, another surrogate does not exist. Please go to #3.
  3. If you do not see a thumbnail image or a reference to another surrogate, please fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room. In many cases, the originals can be served in a few minutes. Other materials require appointments for later the same day or in the future. Reference staff can advise you in both how to fill out a call slip and when the item can be served.

To contact Reference staff in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room, please use our Ask A Librarian service or call the reading room between 8:30 and 5:00 at 202-707-6394, and Press 3.
