What month is it?

Various groups claim a month as their time for concentrated rememberance. February used to be Presidents month with Abraham Lincoln and George Washington's birthdays both falling in February.
Currently we emphasize Black History during February. An interesting resource for Black History in Georgia is, The New Georgia Encyclopedia which provides access to authoritative information on people, places, events, history, and other topics about the state of Georgia.

The search box is in the middle of the left column. The search engine looks for each word in a phrase. A search for 'Black History' retrieved many articles that had black or history in the article. Quotation marks didn't  keep the words together as a phrase.

The link for Advanced search gave me the option to limit the search to 'exactly matches the terms'. Limiting the search by subject didn't pull up any articles. Limiting the search to keywords pulled up 6 articles. It is intriguing that so little in the encyclopedia refers to 'Black History'. A similar search in Advanced search for 'Civil Rights', limited to 'exactly matches the terms',  and subject turned up a wealth of articles.

It seems like so much of Civil Rights in Georgia ties to Black History. I wonder why they didn't use both terms as subject categories?

The New Georgia Encyclopedia is accessible through GALILEO as well as the web .
