  • 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.

  • 2011 Annual Report of the Georgia Historical Society Fiscal Year 2011
    Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Report of the Georgia Historical Society Fiscal Year 2011 INTRODUCTION W. Todd Groce, PhD President and Chief Executive Officer Fiscal Year 2011 (July 1, 2010-June 30, 2011) was a banner one for the Georgia Historical Society. Due to the launch of a capital and capacity building campaign the institution enjoyed its most prosperous year in nearly 175 years of continuous operation. As evidence of this, GHS raised a record $5 million for educational programming, archival services, capital projects and endowment. The endowment continued to rebound, and at the end of the fiscal year reached $6.54 million, close to its pre-recession level. Total assets grew from $7,382,181 in FY10 to $13,476,604 at the end of FY11, an increase of 82.5 percent. This healthy bottom line was due in part to careful financial management, dynamic board leadership, a recovering stock market, and the creation of two new endowment funds: the Dr. Henry Sauls Fund, established by a gift of $25,000 from John and Laura Wallace; and the Allan Gaynor Fund, established by an initial bequest of $300,000 from Alan Gaynor, a long-time supporter of GHS. The primary reason, however, for the significant increase in the Society’s net assets was the acquisition in June 2011 of the property at 104 West Gaston Street in Savannah for development as the Jepson House Education Center. Named in honor of philanthropists and higher education champions Robert and Alice Jepson, this is the first physical expansion of the Georgia Historical Society in forty years.
