What is black, white and read?
The answer is - the newspaper! It's an auditory joke that brings a smile to the listener.
The Georgia Historic Newspaper Database is an outgrowth of the Georgia Newspaper Project managed by the University of Georgia Libraries.
Since the early 1950s the UGA Libraries have made a systematic effort to identify and obtain copies of every newspaper ever published in Georgia and to preserve these valuable historical resources on microfilm.
To date over 15 million pages of newsprint have been microfilmed, including at least one newspaper from every county in Georgia that published a newspaper. The Georgia Newspaper Project is part of the U.S. Newspaper Project and has received support from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Microfilm remains the best format for preservation, and microfilming of Georgia newspapers will continue for the foreseeable future.
Digital technology, however, offers many advantages for access. In a digital environment newspapers can be viewed from remote locations by multiple users, and the newspaper texts can be searchable.
The goal of the Georgia Historic Newspaper Database is to convert every Georgia newspaper to digital format and to make this resource available free of charge as a searchable text database in GALILEO.
For further information on the Georgia Newspaper project and information on purchasing newspapers on microfilm, visit their web site at www.libs.uga.edu/darchive/aboutgnp.html (use your browser's BACK button to return to this screen).

Nothing new under the sun
Just before graduation, students are surveyed about their experiece at the institution of higher learning. Students speak the truth- sometimes in love, sometimes not so kindly.
At the turn of the twentieth century graduating seniors published the discussions - Don't look for honey in the pages of the Bumble Bee. In five issues, appearing from 1889 to 1902, graduating students at the University of Georgia departed with a few last stings of vicious satire aimed at UGA faculty and administration. Whether its pages are filled with base libel or grains of truth, it certainly lives up to the wordplay of its slogan, "We sting where we light. We light often."
You can find the newspapers in the Digital Library of Georgia - search for Bumble Bee.

Is it raining there?
The Weather Channel is unveiling interactive maps today that allow a user to pinpoint the exact street address and "see" the weather in that neighborhood.
Handy for folks going visiting but especially handy for landscape businesses!
