One of our archivists did a little show and tell this week for our large collection 
of School Records. She pulled a circa 1870 school district map from Arlington 
County which helps to illustrate the beginning of Virginia’s public school 
system and its segregated schools. This map reveals much about the 
community and where people lived. The LVA’s School Records collection 
covers most of the history of education in Virginia from the charity schools of 
antebellum times to massive resistance against court-ordered desegregation.
