The Georgia Archives is the state’s premier repository for researching families that have lived in Georgia during any period since its founding in 1733. Not only does it hold official state records, but it also has microfilm and some original county, city, and town records, church records, manuscripts, compiled genealogies, family histories, county histories, and general genealogical reference works.
It also holds original land grants and plats both through the bounty land and the land lottery systems. Digital collections have increased in recent years as well. Ms. Hudgins will give an overview of the information available and explain how it can be accessed.
