The Robert C. Williams Museum of Papermaking, located at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia, is a renowned research institution and public museum dedicated to the history and technology of papermaking. Established in 1939, it houses the world's most comprehensive collection of paper-related artifacts, including over 100,000 items such as manuscripts, rare books, and papermaking tools. The museum traces the evolution of papermaking from ancient times to modern technology, offering both permanent and temporary exhibitions that highlight the art, history, and science of paper. Founded in 1939 by Dard Hunter, a prominent figure in papermaking, the museum has undergone several relocations and expansions, ultimately being renamed in honor of Robert C. Williams, a significant contributor to the paper industry. The museum also provides educational programs, workshops, and tours, catering to a wide range of audiences from school groups to the general public.
