This illustrated brochure was compiled by the director and curator of the museum which was established by a legislative act of March 3, 1955. The reason for its creation was to provide a means by which the general public could become better acquainted with the variety of life and resources Georgia possesses. This brochure includes: (1) a floor plan of the display case area on the third floor of the State Capitol, (2) a list of flags exhibited on the first floor, (3) a case by case description of the displays of Georgia flora, fauna, minerals, firearms, and Indian artifacts. Distributed throughout the museum are colorful dioramas showing wildlife in natural settings and Georgians engaged in typical agricultural and industrial pursuits. The guide is well illustrated with color photographs of several display cases, and also contains several diagrams including the "topography" of a typical bird and a typical fish. There is also a table of contents and a bibliography.
