New or coming soon to Digital Library of Georgia "Thar's Gold in Them Thar Hills": Gold and Gold Mining in Georgia, 1830 s-1940 s 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 1830 s through the early 1940 s, 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 fiftyfive 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 1970 s and early 1980 s. 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.
