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.
