Obtain a Georgia Southern Commons Account

If you are uploading African American funeral programs to Georgia Southern Commons, you need a GS Commons account. Accounts are separate from Georgia Southern University's MyGS login credentials but are free and easy to set up. You do not need a GS Commons account to view or download materials in the WHHRC collections. To set up an account and receive training to upload funeral programs, contact the GS Commons Team at digitalcommons@georgiasouthern.edu.
