As you know, I like to use my net connection to travel to places I may otherwise not go. Since I do it so often, I thought it would be nice to try and make my travels a regular feature. It being a new concept, I am open to travel ideas.

This week’s travels didn’t take me very far geographically, but instead, back in time. Our first stop in the Gull Reef Club Time Machine is Savannah, somewhere between 1939 and 1941.

~The Living in Savannah scrapbooks consist of photographs taken by Armstrong Junior College students for a Contemporary Georgia course in 1939-40 and 1940-41. Both albums are part of the Florence Powell Minis collection housed at the Lane Library.
Living in Savannah, Volume I
Living in Savannah, Volume II
I searched through all the pictures in both of these volumes trying to find my house - to no avail.

Our next stop is another Armstrong Atlantic University sponsored creation.
~Artwork of Savannah was published in 1893 by the W. H. Parish Publishing Co. of Chicago. Armstrong’s copy is a part of the Florence Powell Minis Collection housed at the Lane Library.

Tonight’s final stop takes us to the UGA sponsored Vanishing Georgia Project.
Vanishing Georgia comprises nearly 18,000 photographs. Ranging from daguerreotypes to Kodachrome prints, the images span over 100 years of Georgia history.
My specific search was on ‘Savannah.’ There are a number of interesting results. (Note: you will need to scroll to image #13 before you start seeing the Chatham County/Savannah pics).

Well, I hoped you have enjoyed your little journey through time. See ya next week.
