McCulloch, Director of Libraries, developed\nthe Virginiana Collection of the Fairfax County Public Library. Ever\nsince then, individuals, authors, private organizations and public\nagencies have donated photographs, negatives, slides, postcards, and\ncopies of prints to the Virginia Room. The collection grew immensely\nafter 1965 with the establishment of the Fairfax County Historical\nLandmarks Preservation Commission (later renamed the Fairfax County\nHistory Commission) when they continuously donated hundreds of\nphotographs. The now defunct History Program of the Fairfax County\nOffice of Comprehensive Planning also contributed photographs from their\ninventory of historic sites and preservation programs. The Fairfax\nCounty Health Department photographed dilapidated buildings in the\ncounty from 1961 to 1976 and also donated their photos of these long\ndemolished buildings.","In many instances with the donation of manuscript collections, Virginia\nRoom staff often separated photographs from those collections and\ninserted them into the general photographic archive. One example of this\nis the Henry H. Douglas Collection of Washington \u0026 Old Dominion Railroad\nPhotographs. Henry H. Douglas (1903-1987) edited and published the\nsecond edition of H. H. Harwood's \"Rails to the Blue Ridge.\" His photo\ncollection, depicting many scenes along the Washington \u0026 Old Dominion\nRailroad from the 1930s-1960s, has been mixed into this collection.","By the early 1980s, the number of photographs in the collection reached\ninto the thousands, making retrieval extremely difficult. In response to\nthis problem, the Fairfax County History Commission funded a project of\norganizing, inventorying, and classifying the collection. Upon\ncompletion of this project in 1981, the Commission published the book\n\"Catalog of the Photographic Archive of Fairfax County, Virginia\".","The photographs in this collection represent the pictorial history of\nFairfax County from its beginnings to the mid-2000s. Photos range from\nindividuals, families, events, buildings, businesses, schools, churches,\npanoramas, aerial views, and many other vanished aspects of the county’s\nhistory. The entire collection is stored in acid-free envelopes and\nhoused in acid-free boxes in a climate controlled environment. Each\nphoto has been assigned a unique identifier and identified by title or\nsubject. Location, photographer, and date have been included when\ndetermined. Copies of photographs can be ordered at a cost, unless a\nparticular photo has a copyright restriction.","The General Collection consists of 44.0 linear feet of approximately\n12,627 images.
