The Valentine Richmond History Center launched the Richmond History Makers program to recognize everyday citizens and outstanding organizations making significant contributions to the greater Richmond region.
From the first clash of European and Native American cultures, the history of Richmond parallels the story of Virginia and the nation. Riddled with contradictions, the history of Richmond remains a complex story of human enterprise and business development.
From Capitol Square to the Canal. With guided bus and walking tours, we make it fun for students to learn the history from their own back yard.
The History Center Archives has thousands of two-dimensional items related to the history of Richmond. The Collection is divided into four sections: Books and Manuscripts, Ephemera, Prints and Photographs.
The largest and finest collection of primary source material for researching and interpreting the history of Richmond.
