Testimonies from teachers who have attended previous NHDGA workshops:

All teachers are welcome.

Participating teachers will need internet access as sessions will be run through either Zoom or Microsoft Teams  If you teach at a school with access to GALILEO, please have your school login/password with you as we will be using that resource extensively. 

The LaGrange College Lewis Library is the resource home to NHDGA Teacher Workshops.  One of the finest small college libraries in the South, it is home to an impressive research collection of both print and online resources and benefits from  a dedicated staff ready to assist workshop attendees. While all workshop sessions will be online, we will still have access to the library's online collection should a research question arise.  

The registration fee for the NHDGeorgia mini-workshop is $45.00 per person. Upon completion of the registration form please pay using a credit/debit card by using the online payment link.
