Who is your Archives or Records Management Hero? Call for Nominations- 2008 Georgia Historical Records Advisory Board (GHRAB) Archives Awards ProgramThink about those that have had a significant impact on your government, community, or our state through their work with records: the city that establishes a records management program, the county that converts an existing government facility into a records center, the court or school system that scans records for greater public access, the historical society that runs on volunteer efforts, the librarian who catalogues the community’s photographs, or the teacher who goes “above and beyond” to make history come alive for their students. Every community has in its midst individuals and organizations that protect and encourage others to use Georgia’s historical records. So who is your hero? Nominate that person or organization for the 2008 GHRAB Awards Program. The postmark deadline for nominations is June 1, 2008. To nominate someone, complete the one-page form available at www.GeorgiaArchives.org, click on the 2008 Outstanding Archives Awards Program. You can also view previous award recipients.
