Frequently Asked Questions

Will more documents be added to this database?
Yes, new publications from the various state agencies of Georgia are added daily.
Does the GGP include any documents published before 1994?
The GGP digitizing initiative began in 1996 starting with material published in 1994 and has continued to add documents from the various state agencies as they are made available. However, while most publications in the database date back to 1994, we have been adding selected publications published before 1994. A list of those publications can be found here.
How do I get permission to use one of the images in a publication or on a website?
The digital reproductions included in the Digital Library of Georgia have been made available for use in research, teaching (including distribution to classes), and private study. For these purposes you may reproduce (print, make photocopies, or download) materials from this web site without prior permission, on the condition that you provide proper attribution of the source in all copies.
I click on the document but nothing happens/says I need plugin, what do I do?
The GGP requires the Adobe PDF plugin to view documents. To view the PDF files you will need Adobe Reader.

Is the GGP full-text searchable?
