Founded in 1969, the Society of Georgia Archivists (SGA) represents nearly 200 individuals and repositories that care for historical records. In association with its member archivists, librarians, records managers, museum and historical agency personnel and educators, the Society of Georgia Archivists is working to preserve the past and the present for the future.

Through SGA membership, professionals and volunteers stay current on the latest developments in the records-keeping field, especially with our members-only e-mail list!
