Title: Gunston Hall Plantation, Gunston Hall Home

URL: https://gunstonhall.org/

Collection: Virginia State Government Website Archive

Description: Gunston Hall is an educational agency of the Commonwealth of Virginia that explores the life and legacy of George Mason at his 18th-century home in Mason Neck, Virginia. As the author of the Virginia Declaration of Rights, Mason was one of the first to call for such fundamental liberties as freedom of the press and freedom of religion. Today, Gunston Hall strives to stimulate the continuing exploration of democratic ideals first penned by Mason in 1776. Visitors to Gunston Hall learn about George Mason’s contributions to American rights while experiencing life in 18th-century Virginia through guided tours, exhibitions, special events, and school programs. A research library and archives encourages scholarship in United States history, decorative arts, and historic preservation while an active archaeology program allows for greater understanding of life at Gunston Hall in the 18th century.

Title: The Frontier Culture Museum of Virginia, Frontier Culture Museum ��� Bringing the Past to Life

URL: https://www.frontiermuseum.org/

Collection: Virginia State Government Website Archive

Description: Purpose, Powers and Duties: To develop and maintain an outdoor museum in order to commemorate the contribution which the pioneers and colonial frontiersmen of the 18th and 19th centuries made to the creation and development of the United States of America. The Frontier Culture Museum of Virginia works to tell the story of early immigrants and their American descendants by reproducing examples of traditional rural buildings from England, Germany, Ireland, West Africa, and America. The Museum engages the public at these exhibits with a combination of interpretive signage and living history demonstrations. The outdoor exhibits are located in two separate areas: the Old World and America. The Old World exhibits show rural life and culture in four homelands of early migrants to the American colonies. The American exhibits show the life these colonists and their descendants created in the colonial back-country, how this life changed over more than a century, and how life in the United States today is shaped by its frontier past.

Title: Virginia Memory

URL: https://www.virginiamemory.com/

Collection: Virginia State Government Website Archive

Description: Virginia Memory is part of the online presence of the Library of Virginia, the state archives and reference library at the seat of government for the Commonwealth of Virginia. Established in 1823, the Library maintains vast and varied collections of print materials, manuscripts, archival records, newspapers, photographs and ephemera, maps and atlases, rare books, and fine art that tell the history of the commonwealth and its people. Since the mid-1990s, the Library has digitized parts of the collections in an effort to make our materials more widely available to our online users. In 2006, the Library began reviewing its online presence and came to the conclusion that our traditional Web site could no longer deliver effectively our online content; promote our many services to educators, the public, and government employees; guide users through our collections; and accommodate new and exciting digital materials created by the archivists, librarians, educators, and historians on our staff. We realized that increasingly our users would visit us virtually, rather than physically, and their expectations for their online visits would be influenced by and change according to the Web technologies available on other sites they use every day for work, research, and entertainment. In 2007 and 2008, work began in earnest on the redesign of our agency site, as well as the creation of this offering, Virginia Memory. Virginia Memory has been designed as a gateway to the Library's digital collections, whether those items are indexed and delivered through traditional library systems, offered in online exhibitions, organized as resources for educators and students, or presented as research articles by staff who work with the collections on a daily basis.
