I want to thank you for all the work you have done to digitize these newspapers. As a writer and genealogist, they are an invaluable resource for me. I live in western NC and this resource saves me many trips to Athens.

I have learned so much from reading my 2G Grandfather’s paper, (John H. Christy, Southern Watchman) and often share quotes. I appreciate your digitization both as a descendent and as a writer. I am working on a novel that will include much of the paper’s history and the family ties to Athens history.

Thank you so very much!
Nelma

We digitized them from microfilm using a microfilm scanner to create the images. As Charly mentioned, those issues and many others can be found in the Athens Historic Newspapers Archive. We also have online newspaper archives for Atlanta, Columbus, Macon, Milledgeville, and South Georgia. Those are archives and others can be found here: http://dlg.galileo.usg.edu/MediaTypes/Newspapers.html

Thanks for your interest!
-Donnie

I took these from the Athens Historic Newspaper Archive, hosted by the DLG:

I do believe that the papers were digitized from microfilm; Donnie can speak better to that.

I sometimes wonder if we will ever get to the point where Georgia (or other states for that matter) will try once again to pull away from the union; I suppose anything is possible in these crazy times. I do believe that economics would be the main motivator if it ever did happen…
