Georgia Chapter Benefits
The TOTAbase has been developed to help communications and to provide an avenue by which all members can view research conducted on behalf of the Georgia Chapter. Among other things members will be able to use a dynamic Google Earth map of The Cherokee Nation in Georgia which has been created by and will be updated frequently by our President, W. Jeff Bishop; view site inventories, photographs, documents, and resources. This is a work in progress so you'll want to visit the TOTAbase frequently.
TOTAbase is available to only Georgia Chapter members of the TOTA. Active members (dues have been paid for the current year) will be issued a username and password as soon as the webmaster receives word of payment from National. If you have have not received your login information, please contact the webmaster.

Trail of Tears Association
The Trail of Tears Association (TOTA) is a non-profit, membership organization formed to support the creation, development, and interpretation of the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail. In 1987, Congress designated a national historic trail commemorate the forced removal of the Cherokee people from their homelands in the southeastern United States to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) in 1838 - 1839.
The Georgia Chapter of the Trail of Tears Association is one of nine state chapters which have been chartered to assist the Trail of Tears Association with its many tasks.
Each chapter has its own board of directors, including officers. This body organizes the chapter for meetings, research, and activities. Activities of the Georgia Chapter include documenting sites relating to the Cherokee people and the Trail of Tears.
