Note to Users of the African American Heritage Database

VFH has recently completed a comprehensive overview of the information contained in the Virginia African American Historic Sites database, in an effort to ensure that this information remains as accurate and up-to-date as possible.

Many of the entries were expanded; others were revised to reflect new scholarship.  Some were moved to a new “Resources” section; and a significant number of new sites have been added.

Revision of the Database is an ongoing process, and we welcome advice, suggestions, and information that will help us not only to identify additional sites to be included, but also to correct possible errors or oversights.

If you have questions, comments, or suggestions, please contact Carolyn Cades, Program Associate for African American Heritage, at 434-924-7202; carolyn.cades@virginia.edu.
