Virginia Archives Month is observed each October to celebrate the institutions and individuals that help preserve and make accessible the important records of our actions as citizens, businesses, religious groups, government, and society.

Images in this Flickr account are contributed from institutions around Virginia to provide the public a sample of the interesting and unique items found in archival collections. Some of these images are used in the educational resources, website, and other makers activities organized to celebrate Virginia Archives Month.
