Georgia’s History…Worth Saving! A Celebration of Georgia Archives
October is Georgia Archives Month, an opportunity to celebrate Georgia’s historical records and recognize those who maintain them. Historical records preserve our heritage for us and for future generations. Check out the Virtual Vault at the Georgia Archives or the Digital Library of Georgia to see images, maps, manuscripts, goverment records, and more from the people, places, and events that made Georgia what it is today. Or, you can visit an archives near you to see what treasures they may hold.
If you want to expand your search outside of Georgia, Annals of American History from Britannica lets you access historical documents, images, and video and audio clips of famous speeches. Archive Finder can help you find collections all over the United States as well as the United Kingdom and Ireland, and ArchiveGrid (not available outside your library) will allow you to expand your search for archival collections to the world.
To find even more historical documents, see the Archives and Primary Sources section of GALILEO Scholar.
