Do you know about Company 1433? It was an all-Black unit of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) assigned to the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge from 1937-1941.

The CCC was established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt as part of his New Deal, federal program that provided job relief during the Great Depression. The work program enlisted single men ages 18-25 to improve public lands, forests, and parks. Company 1433 cleared roads in the Okefenokee Swamp, worked on bridges, constructed buildings, and other infrastructure.

Our guide, CCC Company 1433, has links to books, streaming video, and online resources. One of the resources we highlight is the Company1433 Project, which has collaborated with Digital Library of Georgia to preserve and digitize materials such as the "Bonnel Stone Beacon," the Company 1433's newsletter.

Our guide also has a link to information about Coastal of Coastal Georgia's inaugural Biennial Okefenokee Science Symposium happening Oct. 16-17, 2026.

College of Coastal Georgia Libraries & Archives is honored to have a photograph featured in the newly released poster celebrating Georgia Archives Month.

Our image featured in the poster captures the moment in 1967, when Gloria Jean Walters walked across the stage to receive her diploma from Dr. Earl Hargett, president of Brunswick Junior College, with Embree Humphrey, Director of Admissions and Registrar, in the background.

Our archive at Coastal is the story of our institution, but it also tells countless stories of alumni, faculty, and staff, as well as visiting community members, and others who are part of our history. These stories can be found in our yearbooks, student newspapers, and other college publications, as well as in images and oral histories.

Check out our College Publications guide to view digitized yearbooks, newspapers, and more. Our Reading Room is open by appointment if there are archive resources you would like to view in person.

It's a time to bring awareness to the very real attempts to censor books across the country. It's also a time to celebrate our right to read as well as the spaces that provide free and open access to information.
