These papers “contain published legal notices, news of state and regional governmental affairs, and announcements of community news and events, including births, deaths, and marriages.” Historical papers often identified themselves as a “paper of record,” “official newspaper,” or “legal organ” in the masthead or publisher’s block. The Digital Library of Georgia also references a list of current legal public notice publications when deciding what newspapers to classify as a “paper of record.”</p> </div> </div> </div> <footer id="footer"> <div class="container"> <div class="row main-row"> <div class="col-sm-8"> <div class="footer-panel"> <h2>Are you interested in including a title in the archive?</h2> <a href="/about/participate" class="btn btn-primary">Get Involved</a> </div> </div> <div class="col-sm-4"> <h2 class="social-heading">Follow Us!</h2> <ul class="social-icons"> <li> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DigitalLibraryofGeorgia" title="Visit DLG on Facebook"> <span aria-hidden="true"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 512 512" height="36"><path d="M512 256C512 114.6 397.4 0 256 0S0 114.6 0 256C0 376 82.7 476.8 194.2 504.5V334.2H141.4V256h52.8V222.3c0-87.1 39.4-127.5 125-127.5c16.2 0 44.2 3.2 55.7 6.4V172c-6-.6-16.5-1-29.6-1c-42 0-58.2 15.9-58.2 57.2V256h83.6l-14.4 78.2H287V510.1C413.8 494.8 512 386.9 512 256h0z"/></svg> </span> </a> </li> <li> <a href="https://twitter.com/diglibga" title="Visit DLG on Twitter/X"> <span aria-hidden="true"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 512 512" height="36"><path d="M389.2 48h70.6L305.6 224.2 487 464H345L233.7 318.6 106.5 464H35.8L200.7 275.5 26.8 48H172.4L272.9 180.9 389.2 48zM364.4 421.8h39.1L151.1 88h-42L364.4 421.8z"/></svg> </span> </a> </li> <li> <a href="http://blog.dlg.galileo.usg.edu/" title="Visit DLG's Blog"> <span aria-hidden="true"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 448 512" height="36"><path d="M64 32C28.7 32 0 60.7 0 96V416c0 35.3 28.7 64 64 64H384c35.3 0 64-28.7 64-64V96c0-35.3-28.7-64-64-64H64zM96 136c0-13.3 10.7-24 24-24c137 0 248 111 248 248c0 13.3-10.7 24-24 24s-24-10.7-24-24c0-110.5-89.5-200-200-200c-13.3 0-24-10.7-24-24zm0 96c0-13.3 10.7-24 24-24c83.9 0 152 68.1 152 152c0 13.3-10.7 24-24 24s-24-10.7-24-24c0-57.4-46.6-104-104-104c-13.3 0-24-10.7-24-24zm0 120a32 32 0 1 1 64 0 32 32 0 1 1 -64 0z"/></svg> </span> </a> </li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="footer-blurb"> <p>Some content (or its descriptions) found on this site may be harmful and difficult to view.
