Over the years, the archives has sponsored several projects aimed at preserving Georgia’s history. Carroll Hart, who was director of the archives from 1964 to 1982, initiated the Vanishing Georgia Project in 1975 to preserve and copy photographs in communities throughout the state. A mobile photo lab visited counties to copy historical pictures from private collections. Approximately 18,000 photographs have been preserved through this project. In addition Hart instituted an annual training program for archivists, and she established the state records management program to preserve government documents.
