Digitization

We are please to announce that Valdosta State's historic yearbook collection, spanning from 1925-1987, has been shipped off to be digitized in bulk with the latest technologies. The collection will go onto the Internet Archive once the process is complete. Faculty, staff, students, and alumni will now have full access to this rich historical resource that depicts the changing decades at Valdosta State. 

New Website 

The South Georgia Folklife Website is getting an extreme makeover. Look for this new website in the coming weeks.
