Transcripts of the Minutes of the
University of Georgia Board of Trustees,
1786-1932
There is no more comprehensive original source for the early history of the University than the Minutes of the Board of Trustees, covering the years from 1794 to 1932, with some minutes of 1786 inserted in the 1794 pages as a bonus.
The transcriptions attached to this page are part of an ongoing project to render all these hand-written minutes into searchable electronic text. Please note that many eyes have been involved in this project and interpretations of text may vary. If information seems questionable, there will always be merit in comparing the transcript with the manuscript original and we welcome information regarding errors. With its faults, however, we feel this will be a welcome resource for researchers.
