I like previews! Here's one for you...

The "Catalogue of the Trustees, Officers, Alumni and Matriculates of the University of Georgia at Athens, Georgia, 1785-1906" site, a new resource from the Digital Library of Georgia has been added to the GALILEO demo system and is available for your preview.

An announcement describing the resource from the Digital Library of Georgia is below.

Digital Library of Georgia is pleased to announce its newest Web resource: Catalogue of the Trustees, Officers, Alumni and Matriculates of the University of Georgia at Athens, Georgia, 1785-1906.

As early as 1853 the University of Georgia started issuing a listing of faculty, officers and graduates, entirely printed in Latin. The work was periodically reissued with more recent graduates being added. By the time the last issue appeared in 1906, the Catalogue of the Trustees, Officers, Alumni and Matriculates was being published in convenient English and had accumulated a wealth of biographical information about the men associated with more than 100 years of the institution’s history.

The 1906 Catalogue complements the Centennial Alumni Catalog of 1901. The 1906 publication includes more individuals, while the 1901 offers greater detail about those listed.

The 1906 University Catalogue site is a project of the Digital Library of Georgia in association with the Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library.

The catalogue is available in both PDF and DjVu versions.
