  • Broad Subjects: State Parks, Economy, Prisons
  • Groups & Organizations: EPA, Creek Indians, State Patrol
  • Businesses: Coca-Cola, Georgia Power Company
  • Events: 1996 Olympics, 1972 Democratic Convention

  • Locations: Etowah Mounds, Plantations, Stone Mountain

The General Information files are arranged in alphabetical order.  As in the University of Georgia Files and Georgia City files, the General Information index and some major topics begin with a "General" file.  (For example, the Parks - State - General file precedes the Parks - State - Amicalola file.)
