The manuscript for this book, about Atlanta architect Francis Smith of Pringle and Smith, is completed. Current production involves the preparation of illustrative materials in publishable form, and final production will focus on the process of captions, indexing, proofing, etc.

GIS mapping of Atlanta architectural sites

Craig is working with a graduate student in compiling an excel file of Atlanta architectural sites and creating GIS files for the coordinated preparation of maps for guidebook purposes in my on-going work toward books on Atlanta architecture.

Buildings of Georgia

Craig is the identified author of the Georgia volume of the Buildings of the United States book series [Center for American Places and University of Virginia Press] sponsored by the Society of Architectural Historians. Three phases of field research were accomplished in 2001-2, kin coordination with a new 'Architecture of Georgia' course offered twice in the architecture Program of the College. SAH's current focus on completing selected [other] volumes in the series has put Georgia volume temporarily on the back burner. Thus giving me time to focus on getting the above projects finished and published.

New Georgia Encyclopedia (web-based)

Craig is the principal author for the architecture entries in the New Georgia Encyclopedia, publlished on the web by University of Georgia Press. Entries are monographic and thematic and frequently involve subjects not previously published.
