The Georgia Archives is proud to present the 2025 April History Symposium: Georgia’s Waterways, a two-day event exploring the historical, cultural, and environmental significance of Georgia’s rivers, lakes, and coastal waters. From the earliest Indigenous settlements to modern conservation efforts, Georgia’s waterways have influenced the state’s economy, transportation, and way of life.This year’s symposium will highlight the essential role these waterways have played in the state’s development—serving as trade routes, sources of sustenance and recreation, and battlegrounds for political and environmental struggles. Understanding this history is crucial in addressing today’s challenges, from water rights disputes to conservation efforts and climate resilience. By examining the past, we gain a deeper perspective on the policies, industries, and communities that depend on Georgia’s waterways today.
Join us on April 11–12, 2025 for presentations and discussions that connect history with the present to foster a greater appreciation for the waters that continue to shape Georgia’s future.
Program information can be found at GeorgiaArchives.org.
The symposium is free and open to the public, with no registration required. It will take place in person at the Georgia Archives, located at 5800 Jonesboro Road, Morrow, GA 30252.
This event is sponsored in part by the Clayton County Tourism Authority and the Friends of Georgia Archives and History (FOGAH).
