Welcome to the James P. Marshall Jr. Archives - a collection of historical documents and information that has been in the files of the Georgia Association for Volunteer Administration (GAVA). These archives are named in honor of long-time board member, treasurer, and founding member for GAVA James. P. Marshall Jr. For more information about Mr. Marshall, please check our press release on his retirement which was also published on May 7, 2026 in the Eatonton Messenger.

This archive will be an ongoing project as documents are identified. Most documents will be in PDF format but have searchable text. We will only be sharing documents that we believe are in the Public Domain, are owned by GAVA, or we have permission to share. If you have any questions about any below document or have content that you feel would be great to share, please let us know by reaching out to Programming@MyGAVA.org.
