Georgia is celebrating Georgia Archives Week from October 5-11. The 2003 theme for Georgia Archives Week 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. See what the archival and historical communities are planning statewide: http://www.soga.org/aw/2003/aw.html . Activities are taking place throughout the state. Many of these events focus on local and family history and encourage participation from the community. If you know of other events, which are taking place in Georgia or have questions or comments, please contact Jody Thompson at 404.894.4579 or at [email protected] Thank you. Sincerely, Jody Lloyd Thompson, Chair Georgia Archives Week Planning Committee
