The Thomas B. Murphy Holocaust Teacher Training and Resource Center of the Georgia Commission on the Holocaust, located in Carrollton, Georgia, is the only public institution of its kind wholly devoted to teacher training. The center is easily accessible to the teachers of the state, and serves as a clearinghouse for materials and information from public and private agencies. The Holocaust Teacher Training and Resource Center is partnered directly with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C. and the national Association of Holocaust Organizations, as well as Yad Vashem in Israel. The Holocaust Teacher Training and Resource Center functions in cooperation with the State University of West Georgia, the Board of Regents System, the Georgia Department of Education, Georgia Public Broadcasting, the Regional Education Service Agencies, the Georgia Commission on the Holocaust and individual school systems of the state of Georgia.
The Center includes a Resource library, archives, and a media center. Books and videos are available for in-house use, and ongoing acquisitions will assure that the latest information on the Holocaust is available to Georgia's teachers. Curriculum development, teacher conferences, staff development seminars, a photographic and periodical collection, art exhibits, a speaker's bureau, portable historic and cultural exhibits and teacher work areas are components of the Resource Center.
