You Belong @ Your Community in the New Georgia Encyclopedia

To celebrate our theme of You Belong @ Your Community in GALILEO during National Library Week, we will be looking at how to learn more about your city or county in Georgia history resources, including the New Georgia Encyclopedia, the Digital Library of Georgia, and GeorgiaInfo, and in two genealogy resources, HeritageQuest Online and Ancestry Library Edition.

Today, we start with the New Georgia Encyclopedia, an authoritative resource on Georgia’s rich history, diverse culture, and still-unfolding story.

To find the article about your county or city, click the Cities and Counties link on the left. Then, click the plus sign beside Cities and Towns or by Cunties to see a list. All of the counties in Georgia are included, and many of the cities have articles as well.

You can also search the New Georgia Encyclopedia for your city or county to see what you can find.

Tomorrow, we’ll find local history images and information in the Digital Library of Georgia.
