For Georgia Archives Month 2025, our focus turns to the outdoors and its connection to our lives. Where we live becomes a character in our narratives and impacts the story of who we are. Even within a short period of time, most Georgia residents have seen alterations to their towns, cities, and surrounding areas. While some attention is paid to preserving the habitats through ecological means, it is also important to preserve the memory of these spaces through collections of oral histories, photographs, maps, and other documentation.
