Georgia’s Full Story is a project of the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) that was made possible by funding from the Historic Preservation Fund of the National Park Service. The statement's goal is to support the identification and documentation of historic resources associated with Black history statewide. 

For the effort, an appointed advisory committee of professionals from across the state will assist the prime consultant, Ethos, in providing knowledge of Black historic resources and the lived experience related to the preservation of Black heritage statewide. The report includes an overarching history documenting the contributions of Black Georgians from the pre-colonial period to the present, a framework for the  identification of historic resource types and themes related to the Black experience, and guidance on how to evaluate Black historic resources for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. 

Now published, the report facilitates the nomination of Black historic resources to the National Register of Historic Places and has added to the Historic Preservation Division’s collection of more than a dozen statewide historic context statements.  ​
