| dbo:abstract | The GG Archives is a large, privately held archive of genealogy, military, and other ephemera dating from the mid-1800s through 2000. The site has over 6,000 static web pages and 20,000 images. The archives are composed of artificial collections of ephemera in twelve topical areas. The site has since received numerous awards. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, the GG Archives supplies free, unrestricted access to historical ephemera, articles, and photographs for specific topics—primarily genealogy-related materials intended for genealogists, historians, teachers, and researchers, covering the period of the 1880s through the 1950s. They are funded mostly through contextual advertising. Launched in January 2000, their online collections include US immigration, ocean travel, military (mostly US Navy), epicurean, vintage fashions, Works Progress Administration (WPA), and the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918-19. The site includes many original steamship passage tickets or contracts, primarily for transatlantic voyages, between 1854 and 1956. The unique primary source documents are useful for illustrating family histories and for K–12 students studying history and social studies. Known for their passenger lists, they also itemize (with images) the materials they have for each ship in the "Immigrant Ships" section under "Ocean Travel". One can expect to spend copious amounts of time on this site while traversing its many collections of historical documents and ephemera. Primary source materials can be found throughout the Archives' Immigration section (covers US and Canadian immigration) including passenger lists and immigrant inspection cards, and are often used by schools in a number of settings and topics. They also cover vintage fashions and epicurean lifestyles from past eras and many period articles on most topics, including a Q&A on the World War I draft. (en) |
