Mission
The mission of the Virginia Historical Society is to collect, preserve, and interpret the
commonwealth's past for the education and enjoyment of present and future generations.
With education as our primary focus we offer public lectures, seminars, conferences and
consulting services; publish teacher resource materials; conduct teacher training and recertification
workshops both on- and off-site; arrange school and general group tours and
activities; support scholarly research through an endowed fellowship program and minority
internships; maintain a museum of changing, permanent, and traveling exhibitions, operate a
research library, and a publications program that has functioned uninterrupted for more than
100 years.
