What's New, What's cool about the
Library of Virginia Collection in the Flickr Commons


A little bit of background from their flickr profile:
The Library of Virginia was created by the General Assembly in 1823 to organize, care for, and manage the state's growing collection of books and official records, many of which date back to the early colonial period. We serve as the Commonwealth's archival agency, the reference library at the seat of government, and as one of the nation's premier research institutions for Virginia history, politics, and culture.
The Library of Virginia in The Commons:
The Library of Virginia joined the Flickr Commons on the 6th of October 2008 with a photographic record of life in Richmond, Virginia from 1949 to 1961from their Adolph Rice Collection
