Atlanta History: A Journal of Georgia and the South was a publication of theAtlanta Historical Society. It was established in 1927 with one issue per year as theAtlanta Historical Bulletin.[1] In 1937, the journal began publishing three or four issues annually. At least one issue per year was published duringWorld War II. By the middle 1950s, the publication again failed to have issues available each year. There were no issues between 1957 and 1965, with nearly a decade represented by Vol. X. Things proceeded smoothly from 1966 until the 1990s, except for no issues during the year 1974. There were occasional combined issues (1-2 or 3-4) too, and Volume XLV is particularly spotty signaling a major slowdown.
The issue dated Spring 1978 changed the name toThe Atlanta Historical Journal and the issue dated Spring 1987 finally changed the name toAtlanta History: A Journal of Georgia and the South, then edited by Bradley R. Rice. with a similar design to the previous volumes. The issue marked Fall 1993 announced the opening of the new museum at the history center and presented a new logo, design, and layout for the magazine which continued into 2006. The last issue was Vol. 48 No. 1, dated Spring 2006.[2]
Franklin M. Garrett's death in March 2000 may have contributed to the current slowdown.[clarification needed][citation needed]
Beginning with the resumption of theBulletin in 1965 with issue No.39, a chapter or two from Franklin Garrett's bookAtlanta and Environs: A Chronicle of its People and Events was included in each issue up to the last issue of 1973 by which time they had reprinted chronologically to 1872 – almost the entirety of Volume I.
