"Thar's Gold in Them Thar Hills" Gold and Gold
Mining in Georgia, 1830s-1940s consists of
selected legal, financial, and promotional
documents as well as photographs and picture
postcards that represent episodes of renewed
interest in gold mining in Lumpkin County during
Reconstruction, at the turn of the century, and
during the Depression. Culled from three archival
collections at the Lumpkin County Library of the
Chestatee Regional Library System, the selected
textual materials cover the late 1830s through
the early 1940s, but focus primarily on the
period between Reconstruction and the turn of the
twentieth century.
Community Art in Atlanta, 1977-1987 Jim
Alexander's Photographs of the Neighborhood Arts
Center from the Auburn Avenue Research Library
consists of fifty-five documentary photographs of
the Neighborhood Arts Center (1975-1989) that
capture significant African American-centered
cultural and community events in and around the
Atlanta-based organization, a brainchild of the
late mayor Maynard Jackson. This body of images
documents a visit to the Center from the
legendary Romare Bearden, as well as Atlanta-area
outreach projects, arts festivals, and social
demonstrations that took place during the late
1970s and early 1980s. Taken by photographer,
community activist, and Neighborhood Arts Center
staff member Jim Alexander, these photographs
demonstrate the Center's service commitment and
its promotion of urban community arts.

Excerpt from Jenkins Diary
soon after I came in front of a house with a fine
burning fire shining through the door way
doorway, which was to too great a temptation
for me now to withstand. I turned my course
through the gateway. to thaw my almost frozen
limbs although I had been closely enveloped in my
blankets, but when I intered entered the room
my mind was attracted from the fire, although a
few moments before it was paramount, in the
centre center of the floor. sit the table with
a smoking dinner of bread, pumpkin meat, coffee
butter milk. now I could feel the keen gnawing
of an (as I thought) intolerable hunger. without
a penny to deleted text buy added text pay
I could not ask to buy, I could not bear to beg,
but remained wistfully silent. in one corner near
the fire sat a number of our regiment who
recognized me, and asked me if I was hungry, I
told him that I had not eat anything since the
day before and had nothing to eat, the gentleman
of the house looked at me but said not a word, in
the other corner sat a four or five gallon
(dinner) pot nearly full of nice stewed pumpkin.
my first impulse was to take a plate and dip as
much as I wanted and leave the house, but I could
not bear the idea, and turned on my heels and
left the house in disgust
