includes a bridal party photo from a Lee family wedding of the 1880s, (yes,
"those" Lees) as well as mid-20th century photos.

The festive mood continues with an invitation to the First Hop of the
Season, the 1867 Season that is, in our "Document of the Month" exhibit.

And just in time for graduation, we've updated our index of the members of
the senior classes of Alexandria high schools (1919-1951) to include
yearbooks recently donated to the collection.  We still have a few gaps...in
the event someone is looking for a loving home for his or her yearbook

Along more utilitarian lines, our microfilm index received a long overdue
overhaul
