Georgia is celebrating Georgia Archives Week from October 6-12, 2002. The 2002 theme for Georgia Archives Week, "Touching Lives through Archives." 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/2002.html . Activities are taking place from Carroll County in north Georgia to the city of Andersonville in south Georgia. Many of these events focus on local and family history, and encourage participation from the community. Come and be part of Georgia history! If you know of other events that are taking place in Georgia or have questions or comments, please contact Jody Thompson at 404-894-4579 or at [email protected] Sincerely, Jody Lloyd Thompson, Co-Chair Georgia Archives Week 2002 Committee
