CHECKLIST OF EIGHTEENTH CENTURY MANUSCRIPTS

INTRODUCTION.

^v The Georgia Historical Society is publishing this checklist of its 18th
century manuscript collections as a contribution to the Bicentennial of
the United States.

The smaller collections are described in more detail than are the
larger ones, though in the latter an attempt was made to cite the im-
portant correspondents and subject matter. For collections where a
calendar is available it is noted at the end of the descriptive paragraphs;
for example, the Joseph Vallence Bevan Papers and the Telfair Family
Papers. Where there are papers of more than one family member, they
have been grouped together. These are the Habershams, the Joneses and
the Telfairs.

In instances where there are copies rather than original papers, it is
noted, naming the holders of the originals when known. Papers that have
been published are also noted, with citations to the publications.

The collections have been numbered from 1 through 176 to facilitate
indexing. The numbers at the end of each description are the library file
numbers which should be noted when asking for any of the papers.

The only 18th century manuscripts omitted are legal documents,
inasmuch as these are of record in either the Georgia Surveyor-General
Department or various courthouses.

The preparation of this checklist was made possible by an intern
grant from Governor Busbee's office to Miss Karen E. Osvald who spent
the summer of 1975 working with us on the papers. It is being published
under a grant from the Georgia Commission for the National Bicen-
tennial Celebration.
