Georgia Historical Society

One of the most significant ways the Georgia Historical Society fulfills its mission is by providing educational programming that explores our state's and nation's past.  Through these programs GHS offers an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be a Georgian and an American.

GHS provides a variety of programs and educational events throughout the year, including lectures, teacher workshops and training, classes and essay contests for students, and the annual Georgia History Festival history education program.  Many of these resources are available online.
