Our Charitable Gift Fund

 The Annie Belle Weaver Special Collections Gift Fund is designed to enhance the research experience of our students, faculty, and other scholars. Your tax-deductible gift supports the purchase of rare and unique materials, such as the 1887 Prospectus of the Tallapoosa Land, Mining, and Manufacturing Co., that are not available through our regular operations budget.

    We are currently building on what we call our West Georgiana Collection, which includes historic materials and artifacts for the unique history of the West Georgia region including Carroll, Haralson, Paulding, Heard, Troup, and Coweta counties as well as areas in Alabama bordering these Georgia counties. Your charitable contribution supports the addition of historic books, manuscripts, photographs, and many other items that give a richer, fuller interpretation to the history of the West Georgia region. 

     We also welcome gifts of original photographs, manuscripts and maps, sound and video recordings, and other items that support and extend the collecting strengths of the Annie Belle Weaver Special Collections. 

    Please contact Suzanne K. Durham, Head of Special Collections, at (678)839-5350 or sdurham@westga.edu if you are interested in making a donation of special materials.

    To make a tax-deductible donation to Special Collections, make your check payable to University of West Georgia Foundation and write Special Collections Fund in the memo line. You can mail your gift to :
