Home > Information for General Public > Educator Resources Educator Resources Whether you are a classroom teacher, a home schooling parent, or a community youth organization leader, we have quality resources to help you teach students about the history, politics, and culture of Georgia. We offer educator aids and services for online users, the regional community, and Archives visitors.
Online Services Our website is a valuable resource for educators, allowing access to organized general information, research databases, and scanned versions of primary documents. In addition, our site serves as a reference to additional quality resources available via the Internet. Frequently-Requested Information – Some of the topics most frequently requested by educators and students are:
