Topic: Finding Your Ancestors in Georgia’s Special Collections Libraries
Description: Georgia is home to countless archival institutions and special collections libraries, including local sites such as Kennesaw State University, Emory University’s Rose Library, the Atlanta History Center, and more.

In this presentation, archivist Maggie Thomas will explore how these sites and more could be useful in your genealogy journey.
