"FOGA" HAS A NEW NAME
"FOGA" has become "FOGAH." We've changed from the
"Friends of the Georgia Archives" to "Friends of Georgia
Archives and History" to encompass our mission: to support
the entire Division of Archives and History, including both the
Georgia Archives and the Georgia Capitol Museum. Same
pronunciation!

Who Are the Friends?
The Friends of Georgia Archives & History is a charitable organization that supports the mission of the Georgia Archives by:
- funding research tools and educational programs
- volunteering for archives and FOGAH events
- advocating for the value of the Georgia Archives and archives in general
- supporting archival training through the Dunaway Scholarship
The Friends of Georgia Archives & History, formed in 2004, is a not-for-profit organization that will support and enhance the programs of the Georgia Archives. By underwriting education programs, public lectures, internships, exhibits, and digization projects the Friends will enhance public awareness of the treasures to be found at the Archives. Such programs will offer an understanding of the roles of individuals and groups of individuals who created the documents or whose lives and activities are told in the documents. The Friends hope to bring life to the documents through programs that focus on those who created them, the signifance of their creation and the impact they had on the lives of ancestors and modern-day citizens. By joining you will be helping not only to preserve the treasures of our state's documentary history but also by sponsoring and promoting true understanding.
