ACKNOWLEDGMENTS SPECIAL THANKS NGA would like to thank the Council of State Archivists (CoSA) and the following state archive organizations for their assistance in verifying the accuracy of NGA’s database of governors’ biographies. The following state archive organizations assisted NGA in spring 2007 and summer 2018* with fact-checking the biographies of all governors from their respective states. The fact-checking process included a review of the personal data and factual details included in each biography. State archivists also provided contact information for additional repositories of official or personal records, when available, of individual governors. *Note: The 2018 review is still in process, with biography edits to be added to the database.

From the Vaults, February 2017
FROM The VAULTS Newsletter of the Georgia Archives www.GeorgiaArchives.org Volume 2, No. 1 February 2017 The Georgia Archives Building State Historian and Archives Director Louise Hays thought that the Georgia Archives would be preparing to move to a new building on the Capitol Square with the State Library and perhaps the Supreme Court as soon as World War II was over. It took another twenty years, a new State Archivist (Mary Givens Bryan), and a new Secretary of State (Ben W. Fortson, Jr.) to complete the white marble structure on Capitol Avenue. The Archives had moved from the fourth floor of the Capitol in 1929 and 1930 to the twenty-room mansion donated by the heirs of furniture magnate Amos G. Rhodes at 1516 Peachtree Street NW. From the beginning it was obvious that a fireproof building designed as an archives would be preferable to Rhodes Hall. Governor Lamartine Griffin Hardman in 1931 proposed carving a giant records storage facility into the core of Stone Mountain.

New York State Library Early Literacy Training—State Library Research and Best Practices Arizona: Holly Henley, Library Development Director, Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records, A Division of the Secretary of State, Carnegie Center, 1101 West Washington, Phoenix, AZ 85007, Phone: 602-926-3366, Fax: 602-256-7995, E-mail: [email protected] Insights: Library staff members who plan to offer early literacy workshops for parents and caregivers find it very helpful to see a demonstration of Every Child Ready to Read and Brain Time before doing them on their own. They also find it helpful to have someone who can act as a mentor while they are getting started. On an ongoing basis, a vehicle for communication and sharing experiences between those who are doing early literacy outreach is very helpful. It is essential to provide ongoing training opportunities for library staff in order to train new staff members in libraries and to keep continuing staff members informed of the latest best practices. Project Description Partnerships and Funding Training and Technology Evaluation Building a New Generation of Readers: A statewide early literacy Trainings and resources for early Face-to-face trainings with Saroj Rhian Evans Allvin and the Brecon project designed by the State Library that provides public and school literacy are supported with LSTA Ghoting, Betsy Diamant-Cohen, Group prepared an evaluation of librarians with the training and materials to teach parents and childcare funding from IMLS, administered Elaine Meyers and staff from New early literacy work by the State providers strategies for preparing children to enter school ready to learn by the Arizona State Library.

A History of Oysters in Maine (1600s-1970s) This is a history of oyster abundance in Maine, and the subsequent decline of oyster abundance. It is a history of oystering, oyster fisheries, and oyster commerce in Maine. It is a history of the transplanting of oysters to Maine, and experiments with oysters in Maine, and of oyster culture in Maine. This history takes place from the 1600s to the 1970s. 17th Century {}{}{}{} In early days, oysters were to be found in lavish abundance along all the Atlantic coast, though Ingersoll says it was at least a small number of oysters on the Gulf of Maine coast.86, 87 Champlain wrote that in 1604, "All the harbors, bays, and coasts from Chouacoet (Saco) are filled with every variety of fish.

Massachusetts State Research Guide Family History Sources in the Bay State
Massachusetts State Research Guide Family History Sources in the Bay State Massachusetts History Their original destination was Virginia, but in 1620 the Mayflower arrived in the New World with 120 passengers. Mostly English Puritans and Separatists, more than half of those original settlers were dead before the first winter was over. A year later a second ship arrived with 37 new settlers for Plymouth Colony. A year and half after that another two ships arrived carrying 96 passengers. Several settlements were created over the course of the next few decades in this colony that occupied most of what is now southeastern Boston from Dorchester Heights, circa 1845 (image courtesy of Library of Congress) Massachusetts. The Massachusetts Bay Company, after a failed attempt in 1623, attempted settlement again in 1628 and were successful with about 20,000 people migrating there before 1630. They occupied the area around what is now Boston and Salem. Soon other settlements were created and thriving. Although the colonists initially had decent relations with the Native populations, cultural differences led to friction which eventually led to war – first the Pequot War (1636-1638) and then King Phillip’s War (1675-1678). At that point most of the natives in southern New England had been pacified, killed, or driven away. In those years following the landing of the Mayflower, the majority of colonists arriving in Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay Colony were from England. Unlike the settlement of Virginia, Maryland and New Amsterdam, the majority of New England settlers immigrated for religious reasons rather than economic reasons. Most of them were middle class, skilled craftsman and merchants, rather than nobility.

The right et the American people to know what its government is doing is essential to the maintenance of our democracy. At the same time, our citizens have the right to expect the government to maintain the privacy of personal information it has accumulated about Them. Are these concepts contradictory, and - if so - can they be reconciled? The Federal, as well as some state and local governments have passed legislation and developed policies governing these concepts. Representatives from the National Archives, the Slate of Connecticut and the city of Bridgeport, CT, will discuss how their governments deal with these issues. 2.

A STORY of the WASHINGTON COUNTY UNORGANIZED TERRITORIES Prepared by John Dudley for Washington County Council of Governments March 2017
A STORY OF THE WASHINGTON COUNTY UNORGANIZED TERRITORIES Prepared by John Dudley for Washington County Council of Governments March 2017 The story of the past of any place or people is a history, but this story is so brief and incomplete, I gave the title of “A Story”. Another person could have written quite a different story based on other facts. This story is based on facts collected from various sources and arranged in three ways. Scattered through one will find pictures, mostly old and mostly found in the Alexander- Crawford Historical Society files or with my families’ files. Following this introduction is a series on pictures taken by my great-grandfather, John McAdam Murchie. Next we have a text describing the past by subject. Those subjects are listed at the beginning of that section. The third section is a story told by place. The story of each of the places (32 townships, 3 plantations and a couple of organized towns) is told briefly, but separately. These stories are mostly in phrases and in chronological order. The listed landowners are very incomplete and meant only to give names to the larger picture of ownership from 1783. Maps supplement the stories. This paper is a work in progress and likely never will be complete. I have learned much through the research and writing of this story. I know that some errors must have found their way onto these pages and they are my errors. I know that this story is very incomplete. I hope correction and additions will be made. This is not my story, it is our story and I have made my words available now so they may be used in the Prospective Planning process.
