- Atlanta, Feb. 19, 1974. Luther C. Lewis, administrative officer with the Georgia Building Authority, views the display of the official Georgia Historical Plates at the Capitol. House Resolution 573 had designated these 12 plates as such. They had been commissioned by the Transylvania Club of Sandersville to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the founding of Georgia. They were designed by Louise Irwin and manufactured by the Wedgewood Company.

One member, Louise Irwin, in 1932 designed a collection of 12 Georgia Historic Plates for the 1933 Georgia Bicentiennel.
