Dear Lena and other colleagues:

The Library of Congress's American Memory collections have significant  
information about Virginia school architecture.  The most complete  
information is in the HABS/HAER collection,  
http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/collections/habs_haer/.  Enter the words

school Virginia

in the search box at top left, and you'll get a number of relevant hits  
that include photographs, drawings, and textual documentation for each  
building.

To find additional photographs and other information in other  
collections, go to this page --  
http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/browse/ListSome.php? 
category=Architecture,+Landscape -- and enter the words

school Virginia

in the search box at the top of the page.  You will probably get some  
hits that are not relevant, but many more that are.

The Library's Prints and Photographs Online Catalog (PPOC) will yield  
many more images of Virginia schools.  Go to  
http://lcweb2.loc.gov/pp/pphome.html and enter

school Virginia

in the search box at the top of the page (leave the default options as  
is), and you'll get several hundred hits.  Again, some will not be  
relevant, but many will be.

Best wishes --

-- Jurretta
