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.

The American Revolution in Georgia explores the political,
economic, and social impacts of the American Revolution throughout
the state of Georgia. In this detailed historical study, Kenneth
Coleman describes the events leading up to the Revolution, the
fighting years of war, and the years of readjustment after
independence became a reality for the United States. Coleman
investigates how these events impacted Georgia's history forever,
from the rise of discontent between 1764 and 1774 to the fighting
after the siege in Savannah between 1779 and 1782 and changes in
interstate affairs between 1782 to 1789, and more. The American
Revolution in Georgia contributes to the complicated history of the
American Revolution and its impacts on the South. The Georgia Open
History Library has been made possible in part by a major grant
from the National Endowment for the Humanities: Democracy demands

International Education at the Crossroads captures the essence and
complexity of international education in an interconnected and
globalized world. Written by leading scholars, international
educators, and policy makers, the 26 essays in this volume take
stock of the unpredictable landscape of international education and
demonstrate why international higher education is more essential
now than ever before. Responding to a timely global moment where
education and international engagement are being redefined and
practiced in new ways, the authors call for a reconsideration of
paradigms and critical reflection of the entire field of
international education. At the same time, the authors show how
international education is an imperative for the future of learning
and the world, and also, crucially, that this work cannot be done
in a silo. International Education at the Crossroads offers readers
a chance to join in the conversation that is as global as it is
meaningful in communities, the lives of learners, and institutions
around the world. International education requires that everyone
the world over work together to produce new knowledge, to navigate
the "crossroads," and to collectively chart the directions in which
the field will move into the future.

This collection of essays grew out of a symposium commemorating the
250th anniversary of the founding of Georgia. The contributors are
authorities in their respective fields and their efforts represent
not only the fruits of long careers but also the observations and
insights of some of the most promising young scholars. "Forty Years
of Diversity" sheds new light on the social, political, religious,
and ethnic diversity of colonial Georgia.
Published in 1958 as a memoriam for E. Merton Coulter,
"Georgians in Profile" is a collection of fourteen biographical
essays that detail the lives of important Georgians. Written by
Coulter's former students, the subjects of the essays range from
colonial builders to reformers of the twentieth century. Some of
the historical figures in the volume include John Percival, the
First Earl of Egmont, who helped establish the Georgia colony;
Benjamin Hawkins, a representative for Congress in the negotiations
with the Creek Indians; Wilson Lumpkin, a prominent antebellum
politician; and Rebecca Latimer Felton, the first woman to hold a
U.S. Senate seat. An appendix offers a complete list of works
published by Coulter up to 1958.
Kenneth Coleman's study of Athens, Georgia, during the Civil War
focuses on what life was like for the 4,000 people living there.
Despite the hardship and deprivation, life went on, heightened by
the effects of war. Churches and schools remained the core of
social life; women's groups continued to meet; parties and concerts
added amusement to people's lives. But war did make drastic
changes. People lost loved ones, and knew the hardship of living
from day to day as prices soared and goods, once necessities,
became unobtainable luxuries. Coleman weaves a broad and
illuminating tapestry of a people who met a great challenge while
managing to hold on to, for as long as possible, their peacetime
ways.
This standard history of the state of Georgia was first published
in 1977. Documenting events from the earliest discoveries by the
Spanish to the rapid changes undergone during the civil rights era,
the book gives broad coverage to the state's social, political,
economic and cultural history. For this new edition, available for
the first time in paperback, the book has been revised to bring the
work up through events of the 1980s and the bibliographies for each
section and the appendices have been updated to include relevant
scholarship from the decade of the 1980s.
