THE NEW GEORGIA ENCYCLOPEDIA is a project of the Georgia Humanities Council in partnership with the University of Georgia Press, the University System of Georgia/GALILEO, and the Office of the Governor. The NGE is a work in progress, and because of the generous support of our sponsors and partners, our content is continually growing and updated, and is accessible to everyone. Read more....

The redesigned New Georgia Encyclopedia will launch in summer 2013! But you can get a preview now of all the changes we've been making over the last year.

The new site is still under construction, but we would love to hear your thoughts. To offer comments and suggestions, please visit our beta testing instructions.

And just a reminder—the original site will remain available for use, although we are no longer adding or updating content here.

Thank you for your continued support as the NGE begins a new chapter!
