Curiosity Corner is produced through the research and drafting performed by the Fulton County Schools Teaching Museum and Archives staff listed above. Each edition is vetted by the Fulton County Schools Social Studies and Humanities Department staff, before it is returned to the archivist to be uploaded to the district's webpage, where all past editions are housed.
Curiosity Corner is published five times yearly, during each school term. While some editions require more research and collaboration than others, editions require 2-3 months from project beginning to date of posting.
