Description
The Virginia Indian Archive is a project that began in 2011 to gather and record historic photographs in the possession of Native families, tribal archives, and museum facilities so that the images could be preserved and digitally accessed. In addition to photographs, the archive includes maps, letters, treaties, and other texts, as well as audio interviews and video programs. The archive represents the history and cultural experiences of Virginia Indians since colonial times. Items in the collections were gathered from a wide range of sources, both historical and contemporary. A resource tool available to teachers, students, researchers, and the public, the archive is freely accessible online. The Virginia Indian Archive was funded by Dominion Resources, Inc. and the Mary Morton Parsons Foundation.
