A detailed look at Georgia’s colonial and revolutionary history through its preserved records. This volume brings long‑lost papers to light, helping you understand the state’s early governance and public life.

This edition compiles the Colonial Records of Georgia under state authority to illuminate how archives survived war, relocation, and loss. It explains the search for documents, the role of London originals and transcripts, and the careful work of later editors to present a coherent history from fragmentary evidence.

• How crucial papers were saved during war and upheaval, and how parts were lost or damaged.


• How early governance, charters, and the Trustees’ work shaped the colony’s administration.


• The challenges of assembling records when many journals and minutes were destroyed or scattered.


• Notes on sources, methods, and the effort to present a continuous narrative from available documents.
