As with so many states/countries the budget crises effect libraries and
archives. The Georgia (USA) Secretary of State under which department the
Georgia Archives is located has announced that effective October 1, 2010
the public hours for the Georgia Archives will change to Thursday-Saturday
8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Due to the reduction in public hours, when the Archives
are not open to the public, the Archives staff will be redeployed to
different functions. The core duties of the Archives had been genealogy
requests.
