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.
