Georgia Archives and Libraries Georgia Archives
 Contact Information[edit | edit source]Website: www.GeorgiaArchives.org Address: Telephone: 678-364-3710 Hours and holidays: Tuesday through Saturday 8:30 am to 5:00 pm As of July 1, 2013, the Georgia Archives was transferred to the University System of Georgia, which helped ease budgetary concerns. [1] Directions, maps, and public transportation: From anywhere in Metro Atlanta, take I-285 to exit 55, Jonesboro Road. From the east, turn left; from the west, turn right onto Jonesboro Road. Drive about 4 miles and the Archive will be on your left, just after Harper Drive. The Georgia Archive shares a parking lot with the National Archive's Southeast branch and is the building on the right. Internet sites and databases:
Collection Description[edit | edit source]The Georgia Archives holds state government records, and county records of Georgia. This is the place to start searching for early Georgia ancestors.[2] They also have genealogies, county histories, newspapers, tax digests, private papers, church records, cemeteries, Bible records, a few municipal records, census, maps, land plats, photographs, Georgia Confederate service and pension records, colonial, headright, and bounty land grants, and land lottery records. The Georgia Archives is overseen by the University System of Georgia. They are responsible for collecting and maintaining the historical records of Georgia government and history. [3]
Tips[edit | edit source]Due to restricted hours, microfilm readers with computers and printers attached are in high demand. Users may have to wait or sign up in advance for the machines and will likely be limited to an hour's use at a time. Numerous older, hand crank machines are available, though less sought after. Alternate Repositories[edit | edit source]If you cannot visit or find a record at the Georgia Archives, a similar record may be available at one of the following. Overlapping Collections
