OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE FROM THE SECRETARY OF STATE

The Office of Secretary of State Presents Travis N. Tom with the Georgia Historical Records Advisory Board Award for Excellence in Documenting Georgia's History

(10.4.11) Secretary of State Brian P. Kemp and Georgia Historical Records Advisory Board (GHRAB) Chair Kaye Minchew presented Travis N. Tom with the GHRAB Award for Excellence in Documenting Georgia's History during the ninth annual GHRAB Archives Awards ceremony at the Georgia Archives on Tuesday, October 4, 2011. The GHRAB awards recognize outstanding efforts in archives and records work in Georgia.

Mr. Travis N. Tom is the Curator of the exhibit "A History of Chinese Settlement in Augusta, Georgia," which debuted in May 2011 at the National Archives in Morrow, as part of the Asian Pacific American Heritage Month Symposium. This exhibit, which began with discussions by the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association in Augusta, documents the 19th and 20th century lives of Chinese who settled in Georgia.

The exhibit highlights the development of the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association, the Chinese Sunday School, founded in 1885, the history of the Augusta Canal, Chinese merchants, Chinese war veterans, and the impact of the Chinese settlement and contributions to the social, economic, and civic growth of Augusta. Through this project, a number of private collections containing records of early 20th century Chinese Americans in Georgia have been identified and preserved. This is an example of how the history of an under-documented community in Georgia can be identified and recorded through the participation of community volunteers.

GHRAB works to promote the educational use of Georgia's documentary heritage and to support efforts to improve the condition of records statewide. The Board is charged with advising the Governor, Secretary of State, and the Georgia Archives on records and policy issues.

The Secretary of State's office offers important services to our business community, our government, and our citizens. These services include an efficient and secure election process, and the regulation of corporations, securities, and professional license holders. The Office also oversees the State Archives.
