Georgia in Pictures!
For Georgia Genealogy and History Researchers as Well as Travelers

"The words "Vanishing Georgia" worry the imagination. What is vanishing? Tired old houses, moss-covered trees, quiet vistas along a country lane, fields white with September cotton, people waiting at the depot to meet the train? To each of us the words conjur up a scene. In some of us they evoke a feeling of nostalgia, thoughts of a way of life that has disappeared or is fast disappearing. For others they may serve as a reminder, perhaps even as a bitter reminder, that the "good old days" were not always so good. Above all they remind us that things change, that time passes." - From Introduction to Vanishing Georgia: Photographs From the Vanishing Georgia Collection.
