April 2010
The Digital Library of Georgia is pleased to present the redesign of
the Georgia Government Publications database.
Developed in 1996 as GALILEO's first digital conversion initiative and
redesigned in 2009, the Georgia Government Publications database
serves as a digital repository of publications produced by Georgia
state agencies. The GGP provides a comprehensive archive of state
publications 1994 to the present, and project participants are
actively scanning documents printed before 1994 to provide researchers
with a valuable source for online historical research. Among the
pre-1994 publications that have been added to the collection is the
Department of Education Annual Report, which has detailed textual and
photographic information surveying the education system in Georgia
back to 1871.
The Georgia Government Publications (GGP) database consists of over
45,000 documents produced by 100 Georgia state agencies. Georgia
agencies are required by law to submit print and electronic
publications that they produce for the public to the official
depository at the University of Georgia Libraries. These publications
are all included in the GGP, which features such diverse publications
as Guide to Alligator Hunting in Georgia, Members of the General
Assembly of Georgia, rack cards on the Georgia state parks, images of
Georgia's song birds from the Traveling Songsters poster, and
thousands of other items generated by Georgia's executive branch of
government.
The Georgia Government Publications database is part of the Digital
Library of Georgia, a GALILEO initiative.
