As part of a $17,980 grant from the R. J. Taylor, Jr. Foundation, the Digital Library of Georgia has digitized over 77,000 pages of Georgia newspaper titles in partnership with the Atlanta History Center. 

The newly-released collection includes rare nineteenth-century titles from north Georgia and previously unavailable titles from larger cities across the state. 

The project creates full-text searchable versions of the newspapers. It presents them online for free in its Georgia Historic Newspapers database at https://gahistoricnewspapers.galileo.usg.edu/.

Users will be able to search the database for geographic, corporate, family, and personal names.
