Encyclopedia Virginia
Encyclopedia Virginia is a free, authoritative multimedia resource that tells inclusive stories about Virginia for students, teachers, and community members who seek to understand how the past informs the present. The encyclopedia includes more than 1,000 entries about Virginia’s history accompanied by primary documents and media objects, including images, audio and video clips, and links to Google Street View tours of historic sites.
Virginia Folklife
The Virginia Folklife Program is dedicated to the documentation, presentation, and support of Virginia’s rich cultural heritage. Whether sung or told, hand-crafted or performed, Virginia’s rich Folklife refers to those “arts of everyday life” that reflect a sense of traditional knowledge and connection to community.
