November 3, 2016
University System of Georgia Chancellor Hank Huckaby and Georgia Historical Records Advisory Council Chair P. Toby Graham presented David Owings, archivist for Columbus State University Archives, with the GHRAC Award for Local History Advocacy during last week’s annual GHRAC Archives Awards ceremony at the Georgia Archives in Morrow, Ga. The GHRAC Awards recognize outstanding efforts in archives and records work in Georgia.
Owings was nominated for his 2015 "Images of America" book, “Columbus,” by Arcadia Publishing. It is the first photographic chronicle of Columbus in more than 30 years and is deemed the most comprehensive in terms of timeline and pictorial content.
