Governor Perdue will be proclaiming October 5-11 as Georgia Archives Week. The 2003 theme is "Looking at the Big Picture." The purpose of Georgia Archives Week is to celebrate the value of Georgia's historical records, publicize the many ways historical records enrich our lives, and recognize those who maintain our communities' historical records. Activities are taking place throughout the state. Many of these events focus on local and family history and encourage participation from the community. See what the archival and historical communities are planning statewide at http://www.soga.org/aw/2003/awa2003.html If you know of other events taking place in Georgia or have questions or comments, please contact Jody Thompson at 404-894-4579 or at [email protected] Thank you. Jody Thompson, Chair 2003 Georgia Archives Week Planning Committee
