Our newest exhibit examines the history of the Georgia Archives from the founding of the department in 1918. Photographs, news clippings, letters, and objects from the Archives’ past show its transition from a small office in the capitol building to the institution we know today. The exhibit includes: an audio clip of Governor Busbee speaking about Secretary of State Ben W. Fortson, Jr., who was instrumental in securing support for the Archives building on Capitol Avenue, a letter of support for the archives from President Woodrow Wilson to State Archivist Lucian Lamar Knight, and color renderings showing the site of the National Archives Southeast Regional Branch and the Georgia Archives. The exhibit is open April 7 through July 7, 2018, and is located in the room off the main lobby. Volume 3, No. 2 FROM THE VAULTS Page 2 News From Friends of Georgia Archives and History Update from the President As we slide from spring into summer, there’s much to look forward to from FOGAH.
