Since remote antiquity nestled between the Black and Caspian
Seas on the majestic Caucasus mountain chain, the Republic of
Georgia today continues its centuries old relations with its
neighbors as it seeks to create new alliances. One of the 15
federated republics of the Soviet Union throughout most of the
twentieth century, Georgia declared its independence in 1991.
Its diverse population has since that event actively explored,
created and used the new electronic environment both to foster
their emerging democratic state and present themselves to the
world community. The sites listed in each category of this selective
portal page have been chosen for their utility in providing accurate
narrative (either brief or extensive) information, as well as
directories, extensive portal pages and other resources concerning
all aspects of Georgian life and culture. Most originate within
the confines of the Republic itself. All are either English language
alone or bilingual, unless noted in an annotation which follows.
Many sites offer down- loadable Georgian fonts to make them easily
accessible. For a variety of reasons, the links to Georgia and
the NIS countries in general often are inactive; we recommend
that you try again, should you not be successful in connecting.
