This series consists of both bound and unbound proclamations issued by Georgia governors. A proclamation, defined by Webster, is "an official formal public announcement." The proclamations included in this series were issued in observance of official holidays; days of recognition for certain products, persons, noteworthy associations and organizations; and for announcements to the general public concerning state business or new state or local laws. The proclamations listed below do not constitute all the announcements issued by any one governor for any term in office. In some instances, there are several years for which proclamations were not received from the Governor's Office.
