The Colonial Records of the State of Georgia document the colony
through its first twenty-five years and includes correspondence
between Georgia founder James Oglethorpe and the Trustees for
Establishing the Colony, as well as records pertaining to land
grants; agreements and interactions with Indigenous peoples; the
settlement of a small Jewish community and the Salzburgers,
German-speaking Protestant refugees; and the removal on
restrictions of land tenure, rum, and slavery in the colony. Most
of the local records of colonial Georgia were destroyed during the
Revolution. Under Governor James Wright's direction, merchant John
Graham loaded much of the official records on his vessel in the
Savannah River. During the Battle of the Rice Boats in March 1776,
the Inverness was burned while it lay at anchor. The destructive
civil war that occurred in the latter phases of the Revolution
resulted in further destruction. The Colonial Records of the State
of Georgia, drawn from archival material in Great Britain, remain a
unique source. Volume 20 concerns the actual founding of Georgia
and covers the years 1732-35. It provides background on the
settlement and a great deal about the arrival of the colonists and
the conditions that they found. Volume 27, spanning the years
1754-56, contains the papers of Georgia's first governor, John
Reynolds, as well as the correspondence of various inhabitants.
Volume 28, Part I, contains the papers of governors John Reynolds,
Henry Ellis, and James Wright from 1757 to 1763. Volume 28, Part II
includes the papers of Governor James Wright, acting governor James
Habersham, and others. Volume 29 contains the Trustees' Letter
Book, 1732-1738. Volume 30 contains the Trustees' Letter Book,
1738-1745 Volume 31 contains the Trustees' Letter Book, 1745-1752
Volume 32 includes entry books of commissions, powers,
instructions, leases, grants of land, and other documents by the
Trustees.

The Journal of Peter Gordon, 1732-1735, provides a rare first-hand
account of one of the original Georgia colonists. In his journal,
Gordon, who served as chief bailiff of Savannah, Georgia, documents
the challenges faced by the original settlers, criticism of the
Trustees' policies for the colony, and interactions with indigenous
peoples. His journal provides unique insight into the establishment
of one of America's oldest colonies. The Georgia Open History
Library has been made possible in part by a major grant from the
