In 1946, James A. Rourke, Jr., whose family operated a foundry on Bay Street in Savannah, built a seaside cottage for his new bride, Odessa, whom he had married the previous year. The couple resided in an apartment on East State Street in Savannah and used the Tybee Island cottage as an ocean retreat until 1966. The James and Odessa Rourke, Jr., Raised Tybee Cottage is an excellent example of a raised Tybee cottage, a house type that developed as a standard beach house design for middle-class families on Tybee Island between circa 1925 and 1949. The main living quarters of these cottages are raised a full story to protect against high water and to provide ocean breezes and views to the ocean. The lower level accommodates automobiles, boat storage, and sometimes servants' quarters. More information about this resource is available on our website.

This is an opportunity for researchers to explore often overlooked records held by NARA and to experience what many researchers have discovered - that you do not have to go to Washington, D.C. to do research at the National Archives. For 2011, one fellow will be assigned to each of the participating National Archives facilities, for a total of five fellowships. Each fellow will receive a $3,000 stipend to assist with travel and research expenses. For more information, visit NARA's website.
