Overview
The Robert C. Williams Museum of Papermaking, on the Georgia Tech campus, is a quirky, free stop dedicated to the history and technology of paper. The Dard Hunter Collection packs in more than 10,000 artifacts — watermarks, tools, and rare books tracing papermaking from ancient times to today — alongside exhibits on hand papermaking, industrial processes, and sustainability. Guided tours and workshops make it worth a detour for anyone curious about an often-overlooked craft.
