When you hear the words "Nashville landmarks," what comes to mind? Chances are, it’s the work of Foster & Creighton Construction Company, a major force in the city’s growth throughout the 20th century. Their projects helped shape many of Nashville’s iconic buildings and infrastructure. In honor of the 100th anniversary of many of these structures, an exhibit showcasing the company's business records and photographs is currently on display in the Metro Archives' West Reading Room.

As part of an ongoing project, we invite Nashvillians to help preserve the city's history by bringing in their home movies! We're collecting footage from past events, daily life, and special milestones to highlight the diverse experiences of Nashville neighborhoods. If you have home movies in any of the following formats - VHS, Betacam, Hi8, miniDV, 16mm film, or others — follow the link above to sign up for an appointment to have your materials evaluated by the Metro Archives staff.

Are you interested in researching your home's genealogy but unsure where to start? Let Metro Archives assist you! We are offering an hour-long workshop focused on how to research your home, using free online resources as well as the records in our repository. Space is limited to just 10 attendees, so be sure to RSVP by following the link above to sign up. If you prefer, you can also call Metro Archives, and we are be happy to take your information over the phone.
