Georgia Archival Repositories

Georgia Baptist History Depository

From Mercer University, Macon, Georgia. Mercer University has collected and preserved Baptist history materials with conscious intent since the late 1870s, following the University's move from Penfield to Macon. At a number of points during the ensuing years, the Georgia Baptist Convention has named the University as the official depository of state Baptist records.

Georgia Virtual Vault - Digital Treasures from the Georgia Archives

Documents in the Georgia Archives are scanned for many reasons. Most items are selected systematically as part of a long-term digitization plan: death certificates, wills, county maps or district plat maps, for instance, are selected and scanned as a group. In other cases the digitization is random and ad hoc: a patron orders a digital copy of a photograph, or documents are scanned before being placed on exhibit. Whether created systematically or ad hoc, all of these images are stored on the Archives’ servers and constitute a rich visual resource of Georgia history. The Virtual Vault was created to provide access to this wealth.
