University of Georgia Libraries

Digital libraries of primary sources enrich our understanding of the sheer diversity of the American experience.

Asheesh Kapur Siddique, assistant professor of history at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, is a historian of early America and the early modern Atlantic world and is currently completing a book about knowledge and governance in the early modern British empire.

At the UGA Libraries, we’ve got FACTS. We invite students to explore all of the resources and services that can help them on their academic journey by participating in our FACTS-Finding Mission, a self-guided scavenger-hunt style orientation through our major locations: the Main Library, the Science Library, and the Miller Learning Center.

2021 Georgia Writers Hall of Fame inductee Pearl Cleage will be in conversation with Valerie Boyd, Charlayne Hunter-Gault Distinguished Writer in Residence and Associate Professor in the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication. A Q&A will follow the conversation.

This webinar will introduce graduate students the breadth and depth of social science research resources available at the UGA Libraries.

As a graduate student you often will be required to complete literature reviews for classes, research assistantships, prospectuses, and dissertations or theses.  This webinar will focus on resources in the social sciences.  You will learn the skills necessary to efficiently and effectively search for academic research, as well as where to search to find seminal literature in your discipline.  Structure of literature reviews will also be discussed.

Introduction to the UGA Libraries provided app “Browzine,” a resource which helps students keep track of new issues of specific journals from their field.

In 2026, the United States will mark the 250^th anniversary of its founding. In anticipation of this event, the University of Georgia Press has developed the Georgia Open History Library: From Colony to Statehood in the New Union. This resource provides free digital access to 45 out-of-print volumes focused on Georgia from the colony’s founding through the American Revolution.
