In commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, the Georgia Historical Society is pleased to share a new publication, a history of Georgia using more than 50 objects and documents from its collection as a window into our shared past. This is just a sampling of the materials we have collected since our founding in 1839 that tell us who we are as Georgians and that help us to gain the knowledge and context for creating a better future.
