CIRCUIT RIDER ARCHIVIST PROGRAM IN GEORGIA

Circuit rider archivist consultation grants were awarded under two rounds in 2005 and 2007. For information about a new round of CRA visits, please continue to check this web site or call GHRAB at 678-364-3718.

The Circuit Rider Archivist Program has helped over 100 organizations in 74 counties across Georgia (see list of recipients below). From all-volunteer, local historical societies to metropolitan governments, the program has provided detailed information through on-site consultation and written reports about the care and improved use of archives and government records. The circuit rider has tutored local governments and historical repositories on basic to advanced topics and provided advice that is practical for them.

As a result, organizations have been able to set goals on a step-by-step basis and address their archival and records management tasks successfully. Some have embarked on policy-making and strategic planning. Others have pursued projects in preservation, inventorying, and arrangement and description. Governments have adopted records management plans and implemented retention and disposal schedules that allow them to conserve precious space and save money. Many have completed disaster preparedness plans with professional information provided by the Georgia Archives. Still, others have taken a step back and realized what they can realistically accomplish or not accomplish based on their time, money, and other resources.
