Here in the state of Georgia, October is designated as Archives Month! Archives Month is a way to celebrate the value of Georgia’s historical records, publicize the many ways historical records enrich our lives, and recognize those who maintain our communities’ historical records. We here at the American Baptist Historical Society work to preserve such diverse materials as missionary correspondence and personal collections, American Baptist Church-USA organizational records, and original church records. Even though our records come from all over the world, we take the time this month to celebrate ALL Archives’ protection and sharing of original and unique records.
