Explore an archival institution near you in October for American Archives Month, starting with a tour of the Library of Virginia! Archives Month celebrates those institutions and individuals that help to preserve and make accessible the important records of our actions as residents, businesses, religious groups, government and society. This work can give us a sense of being part of a larger picture and helps us begin to recognize our connections to others — family, community, nation or a group defined by ethnicity, religion, work or play. This year’s Virginia Archives Month theme is "Oh Snap: Photography in the Archives."

Reserve your spot soon!

Before or after the tour, we invite you to get creative at our Makers Station using images found in archival collections from across the Commonwealth.

Programming assistance is provided by the Friends of the Virginia State Archives, a 501(c)(3) organization.
