New Georgia Encyclopedia
The New Georgia Encyclopedia (NGE) is the nation’s first born-digital state encyclopedia. Since 2004, it has provided ready access to authoritative scholarship on a wide variety of Georgia topics.
All NGE entries are written and reviewed by scholars, fact-checked by reference librarians at the University of Georgia, and updated regularly to reflect new information and recent developments. More than twenty years after its launch, the NGE remains committed to the notion that history and culture are public resources that should be freely available to one and all.
The NGE is a program of Georgia Humanities, the University of Georgia Libraries, the University of Georgia Press, and the University System of Georgia/GALILEO.
