This series contains minutes of meetings and reports from various commissions and committees of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), statements of the history and purpose of the Association, and correspondence See (Record Group 12, Sub-group 8) for additional information.

SACS worked closely with the Georgia Accrediting Commission in determining criteria for accreditation, visiting schools and colleges in Georgia to investigate how these institutions fared in meeting the criteria and either officially accrediting the schools or initiating steps to enable them to achieve accreditation.
