By: Representative Burns of the 159th

A RESOLUTION

Congratulating and commending Craig and Diana Barrow, the inaugural recipients of the Vince and Barbara Dooley Friends of the UGA Libraries Award; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, the Vince and Barbara Dooley Friends of the UGA Libraries Award was established to honor individuals who make a profound difference in the lives of students, faculty, and the university community through their support of the University of Georgia

(UGA) Libraries, thereby carrying on the Dooley's legacy of service; and

WHEREAS, Craig and Diana Barrow, distinguished alumni of the UGA Class of 1965, were selected as the inaugural recipients of this prestigious award in recognition of their unwavering commitment to supporting the instruction, research, and service goals of the UGA Libraries; and

WHEREAS, the Barrows are the owners of Wormsloe, a coastal Georgia site of immense historical, ecological, and archaeological significance originally settled in the 1730s by Craig Barrow's ancestor, Noble Jones, and they have worked to preserve and enhance its role as an educational and research resource; and

WHEREAS, in 2012, the Barrows, through the Wormsloe Foundation, donated 15 acres of land to the UGA Libraries to establish the Center for Research and Education at Wormsloe (CREW), creating a dynamic environment for student and faculty discovery, research, and experiential learning; and

WHEREAS, the Barrows further played a crucial role in the development and success of the UGA Libraries' Board of Visitors, which was instrumental in securing private funding to construct the Russell Special Collections Building; and

WHEREAS, their contributions have built upon a legacy deeply intertwined with the UGA Libraries, as Craig Barrow's ancestor, Wymberly Jones De Renne, assembled the most significant private collection of books and manuscripts on Georgia at Wormsloe, which was donated to UGA in 1938; and

WHEREAS, the Barrows' enduring generosity, leadership, and passion for education and preservation have transformed their family's historical connection to UGA into a lasting legacy that will benefit generations of scholars, researchers, and students.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body congratulate and commend Craig and Diana Barrow, the inaugural recipients of the Vince and Barbara Dooley Friends of the UGA Libraries Award, and extend best wishes for continued success.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized and directed to make an appropriate copy of this resolution available for distribution to Craig and Diana Barrow.
