- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about the Georgia Historical Commission. The Georgia Historical Commission was the earliest statewide force for historic preservation in Georgia; the advent of the commission was the first time state government, rather than a private organization, became involved in historic preservation. Much of the work accomplished during its relatively brief existence--including the erection of hundreds of historical markers--survives today. The commission was created by the Georgia legislature in February 1951 to promote and increase knowledge and understanding of the history of the state.
