Historic structures are often more adequately recognized by state or national historic preservation organizations, such as the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and are not intended to be marked through the Georgia Historical Marker Program. For more information on the National Trust and the National Register of Historic Places, please contact the state Historic Preservation Division of the Department of Community Affairs at 404.679.4840.</p> <p>Subjects of only local significance, and without extended importance in the larger context of state, regional, or national history are not intended to be marked through the Georgia Historical Marker Program. Applications for <strong>churches, cemeteries, and schools</strong> must clearly demonstrate their significance <strong><em>beyond the local level</em></strong> to be considered for a marker. Unless there is sufficient documentary evidence to establish authenticity without question, <strong>no “firsts” will be marked.</strong></p> <p>Historical markers are not monuments. Overly adulatory language that departs in any way from an objective and dispassionate recounting of the historically documented facts will not be approved. Further, marker texts with lists of names (such as <em>in memoriam</em> tributes) are discouraged.</p> <p>Markers with people as the subject are typically considered only when the subject has been deceased for at least twenty-five years. Markers recognizing events are considered only when the event in question took place at least twenty-five years prior to the date of the application. Buildings, sites, or other structures should be at least fifty years old to be considered for a historical marker.</p> <p>Historical marker text allows readers to better understand larger historical topics within the context of a local setting. Therefore, as the Georgia Historical Marker Review Committee and GHS staff construct marker language for approved applications, they must take into consideration not only the local impact of the marker topic but how that story fits into both the larger historical narrative and also the statewide marker program.</p> <p>Sponsoring organizations are asked to assist with the editing process to ensure that the final text is acceptable to all parties. Please be aware that this process can involve questions related to the marker subject that can sometimes be uncomfortable. Often conversations related to racial segregation and violence, confronting local lore and tradition, or discrimination based on gender, religion, race, etc., can be difficult. However, these conversations are necessary and help ensure that the final marker text accurately reflects a complete and multi-faceted story that considers a variety of perspectives on the marker topic.</p> <p>Please note that the Georgia Historical Society and the Georgia Historical Marker Review Committee reserve the right to determine the final interpretive language. However, GHS staff is always available to discuss concerns, answer questions, and are dedicated to ensuring that Georgia’s historical markers remain vital and enduring historical resources.</p> </div> </div> <div class="fl-accordion-item "> <div class="fl-accordion-button" id="fl-accordion-g3ypjhwmxecl-tab-4" aria-controls="fl-accordion-g3ypjhwmxecl-panel-4" tabindex="0"> <i class="fl-accordion-button-icon fl-accordion-button-icon-left fas fa-plus"></i> <a href="#" id="fl-accordion-g3ypjhwmxecl-label-4" class="fl-accordion-button-label" tabindex="0" aria-controls="fl-accordion-g3ypjhwmxecl-panel-4">Historical Marker Sponsors</a> </div> <div class="fl-accordion-content fl-clearfix" id="fl-accordion-g3ypjhwmxecl-panel-4" aria-labelledby="fl-accordion-g3ypjhwmxecl-tab-4" aria-hidden="true"> <p>Markers must be sponsored by at least one entity with a governing body (board of directors, trustees, etc.). Examples of such organizations include historical organizations, churches, schools, businesses, government entities, etc. Markers may not be sponsored by individuals. The name of the sponsors, following that of the Georgia Historical Society, will appear at the bottom of each marker. No more than three sponsor names may appear on the marker. Names of individuals cannot appear as sponsors.</p> <p>The sponsor(s) of each historical marker must be prepared to contribute to the overall cost of each marker following approval by the Review Committee, with the Society bearing the remainder of the cost, as well as overhead expenses including staffing, travel, etc. Installation costs are the responsibility of the applicant and/or the sponsoring organization(s).</p> <p>Payment in full of the sponsor’s share of the marker is required prior to the order being placed with the marker foundry (but after the application is approved by the Committee). This payment may be provided by an individual, but the appropriate marker project must be clearly noted. Further, while individuals may pay for the marker, only organizations may be listed as sponsors on the marker itself.</p> <p>If repair or replacement of the marker becomes necessary, the Society will require a second cost-share from the sponsor(s) to cover repair and/or replacement costs. That cost-share will be based on the cost of the repair and/or replacement marker at the time the replacement is necessary. Because prices fluctuate over time, please inquire for the current cost-share figure.</p> <p>Routine maintenance of a marker is the responsibility of the sponsor(s) listed on the application. Ownership of the marker remains with the Georgia Historical Society. The sponsor(s) must agree in writing (using the Sponsor Agreement form) to monitor and maintain the marker by cleaning and/or retouching paint as necessary. The foundry will supply touch-up paint to the sponsor(s) upon request. In the event that repair or replacement of the marker is needed, the sponsor(s) should notify the Georgia Historical Society.</p> </div> </div> <div class="fl-accordion-item "> <div class="fl-accordion-button" id="fl-accordion-g3ypjhwmxecl-tab-5" aria-controls="fl-accordion-g3ypjhwmxecl-panel-5" tabindex="0"> <i class="fl-accordion-button-icon fl-accordion-button-icon-left fas fa-plus"></i> <a href="#" id="fl-accordion-g3ypjhwmxecl-label-5" class="fl-accordion-button-label" tabindex="0" aria-controls="fl-accordion-g3ypjhwmxecl-panel-5">Marker Liability Coverage</a> </div> <div class="fl-accordion-content fl-clearfix" id="fl-accordion-g3ypjhwmxecl-panel-5" aria-labelledby="fl-accordion-g3ypjhwmxecl-tab-5" aria-hidden="true"> <p>Due to the number of historical markers under the Georgia Historical Marker Program’s care, GHS does not offer liability coverage for the historical markers.
