The Milnes Collection contains audio-visual recordings made and collected by the Augusta Heritage Center’s former Folk Arts Coordinator, Gerald Milnes. Throughout his career with Augusta, Milnes conducted field work to amass a large collection of oral histories, music, and event recordings. He recorded the bulk of the collection from the early 1970s to 2013, but the collection also includes tapes with earlier dates that others sent to him.

I lived beside pete as a child he was one of my dad’s best friends and like a grandfather to me his brother Mike played the fiddle and he left me his 1967 dodge van camper that him and his wife Marie went to the cranberry glades in every year he would always pick the Beverly hillbillies tune for me after school. What an amazing person
Hi Thomas, I’m so glad our archive recordings brought up some good memories. Pete must have been such a great person and musician to be around!
