- The Eastside Documentation Project (1885-2011) includes materials gathered by historians Dr. Charles Elmore and Dr. Martha Keber in preparation for a written history of five eastside Savannah neighborhoods (East Savannah, Hillcrest, Pine Gardens, Savannah Gardens, and Twickenham) for the City of Savannah, Department of Cultural Affairs, and the resulting final products of that research: Keber's Ebb and Flow: Life & Community in Eastern Savannah (City of Savannah, Department of Cultural Affairs, 2011) and "Eastern Savannah Neighborhood Project: Life and Community in
Eastern Savannah" (website), available at http://savannahneighborhoods.org. The majority of the research focuses on white and African American neighborhoods on Savannah's eastside from early development to modern day. The final product includes the area's Native American history, plantation and slave history, employment, housing, sports, youth, cemeteries, and community identity. - Metadata URL:
