A Note for Educators

Articles in the New Georgia Encyclopedia cover a range of subjects throughout Georgia’s long and complicated history. They include language, descriptions, and images that readers may find unsettling or difficult. Certain topics may be challenging for younger readers. We encourage educators to consider NGE materials independently before sharing with students, and to provide additional educational context as appropriate.
