  • 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.

  • Teacher Notes for the Georgia Standards of Excellence in Social Studies
    Georgia Studies Teacher Notes for the Georgia Standards of Excellence in Social Studies The Teacher Notes were developed to help teachers understand the depth and breadth of the standards. In some cases, information provided in this document goes beyond the scope of the standards and can be used for background and enrichment information. Please remember that the goal of social studies is not to have students memorize laundry lists of facts, but rather to help them understand the world around them so they can analyze issues, solve problems, think critically, and become informed citizens. Children’s Literature: A list of book titles aligned to the 6th-12th Grade Social Studies GSE may be found at the Georgia Council for the Social Studies website: https://www.gcss.net/site/page/view/childrens-literature The glossary is a guide for teachers and not an expectation of terms to be memorized by students. In some cases, information provided in this document goes beyond the scope of the standards and can be used for background and enrichment information. Terms in Red are directly related to the standards. Terms in Black are provided as background and enrichment information. TEACHER NOTES GEORGIA STUDIES Historic Understandings SS8H1 Evaluate the impact of European exploration and settlement on American Indians in Georgia. People inhabited Georgia long before its official “founding” on February 12, 1733. The land that became our state was occupied by several different groups for over 12,000 years. The intent of this standard is for students to recognize the long-standing occupation of the region that became Georgia by American Indians and the ways in which their culture was impacted as the Europeans sought control of the region.
