The Herndon Road Jail in Burke County, GA is in the process of being
converted into a records retention center and archives for the storage of
the county's historic government records. Some of the records are county and
municipal records, school records, church records, etc. This is an effort by
several genealogical groups and the Burke County library, and will be
staffed by volunteers of the Burke County Genealogical Society.
I would like to congratulate and thank Linda Aaron, CC of Elbert County, for
her being employed by the Georgia Historical Records Advisory Board (GHRAB)
of the Georgia Archives to train volunteers how to inventory and clean
records. She will also advise the Society in the development of a digitized
database for those records. Linda is the University of Georgia Archivist. It
continually amazes me as to the abilities and talents of the people we have
available in GAGenWeb.
