Digital Library of Georgia

Southeastern Native American Documents, 1730-1842: contains approximately 2,000 documents and images relating to the Native American population of the Southeastern United States from the collections of the University of Georgia Libraries, the University of Tennessee at Knoxville Library, the Frank H. McClung Museum, the Tennessee State Library and Archives, the Tennessee State Museum, the Museum of the Cherokee Indian, and the LaFayette-Walker County Library. The documents are comprised of letters, legal proceedings, military orders, financial papers, and archaeological images relating to Native Americans in the Southeast. ". Although these collections primarily focus on the Cherokees and Creeks, other groups, such as the Seminoles, Chickasaws and Choctaws are also represented. Individually, most documents are relatively brief, from one to ten pages in length, but when combined they form a rich corpus capable of supporting any level of research or educational outreach. The original documents reside in many separate manuscript collections within the participating institutions, but as digital entities they have been brought together into a single electronic collection."
