To carry out this function, the Information Office prepared and published regular annual and monthly reports, citizens handbooks, pamphlets, brochures, code sections, ordinances, departmental reports, and the Weekly Agenda newsletter. The division also wrote press releases and provided photographic needs for the county’s departments.","The Division of Information was originally based at the Fairfax Courthouse and supplemented in the 1960s by three substations in Groveton, McLean and Annandale. These substations also sold county auto tags, dog tags, maps, and studies to the public. In 1968, Elliot G. Shaw, Jr., the Director of Information Services, created the official flag for Fairfax County. The Board of Supervisors adopted the flag in June 1968, and it continues to be in county-wide use today.","In the fall of 1968, the Division of Information was reorganized and reconstituted as the Division of Public Affairs. The Board of Supervisors directed that the reorganized division assist county government officials with communication issues; make available a maximum amount of county government information and activities to the news media; create publications with essential information for citizens; respond to informational requests; and stimulate public interest in county government. Presently known as the Office of Public Affairs (OPA), the division is based in the Fairfax County Government Center and continues to be the hub for the county’s media operations.","The Fairfax County Office of Public Affairs Photograph Collection consists of 44 boxes containing millions of images spanning the years 1962-2009. Formats include 4x5 sheet film; 35mm negative film; 120 negative film; slides, contact sheets; photographic prints; and CD-ROMs. Throughout the division’s history, the Office of Public Affairs (OPA) built a photo archive documenting county government events, meetings, ceremonies, people, places, and buildings. These images were used for a variety of purposes including publication in county newsletters, reports, and news releases. Beginning in the 1970s, the OPA began photographing presentations at every Board of Supervisors meeting. These included certificate and award presentations, proclamations, and other ceremonial happenings. The bulk of this collection consists of images from board presentations. Subjects include the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, county agencies, employees, buildings, and events.","Series 1: Negatives 1964-1971, Boxes 1-2","The Fairfax County Division of Information originally used 4x5 sheet film to carry out their photographic work. Each negative in this series was originally placed into envelopes with handwritten descriptions, arranged alphabetically by subject, and housed in a small cardboard tray box. The negatives have since been rehoused into acid-free envelopes and their original alphabetical order has been maintained. The Division of Information featured many of these images in the Fairfax County Annual Reports; the Weekly Agenda; and the Fairfax County Courier employee newspaper. In some instances, clippings from these publications accompany the negative. ","Series 2: Negatives, 1971-1973, Boxes 3-4","This series contains 35mm negative film; 120 negative film; and contact sheets from 1971-1973. During those years, the Office of Public Affairs (OPA) maintained their negatives in plastic sleeves in two binders labeled “Photo File A-Z”. They were organized alphabetically by topic and that order has been maintained. Occasionally negatives are accompanied by news clippings pasted on paper that feature its image. ","Series 3: Negatives, 1974-1978, Box 5 ","This series contains the OPA’s negatives from 1974-1978. Beginning in 1974, the OPA solely used 35mm negative film. They also changed their photo archiving methods by placing negatives into letter-sized envelopes and arranged them chronologically with handwritten descriptions. Almost all of the 1974 negatives are missing and presumed lost. Beginning on August 31, 1976, the OPA started including strips of contact sheets in their negative envelopes. The negatives and accompanying contact sheet strips have since been rehoused into PrintFile archival preservers. The original chronological order is maintained. ","Series 4: Negatives, 1979-1980, Box 6","The OPA had a different method for archiving their 35mm negatives for 1979 which is contained in this series. Instead of using letter-sized envelopes, the division housed their negatives in plastic pages and alphabetically arranged them by subject in a binder labeled “Photo File 1/79-12/79”.  Contact sheets accompany some of the negatives. Most of the negatives are undated but presumed to be from 1979 while others are labeled 1980. The original alphabetical order is maintained. ","Series 5: Negatives, 1980-1986, Boxes 7-9","In 1980, the OPA reverted to chronologically organizing their negatives in letter-sized envelopes, a process they continued through 1986. Those negatives are contained in this series. In September 1983, the OPA began including typed-detailed pages of whom was depicted in board presentation images. Due to these expanded details, multiple descriptions will be found for the same dated set of negatives in the container list. Occasionally, photographs accompany the negatives in this series. The negatives have since been rehoused into PrintFile negative preservers, but the original chronological order is maintained. ","Series 6: Photographs and Negatives, 1987-2006, Boxes 10-31","From 1987-2006, the OPA chronologically rehoused their 35mm negatives and accompanying print photographs into plastic pages which are found in this series. Interdepartmental memos, event programs and documents are also occasionally included. From 1993-2002, the OPA started featuring the name of the supervisor giving a presentation to the photographed subject in parentheses in their descriptions. Negatives and prints from January-April 1995 are missing and presumed lost. Beginning with the October 28, 2002 board meeting, the OPA started including CD-ROMs of digital images with the negatives and photographs. In 2006, the OPA discontinued using film altogether and images are contained on CD-ROMs and contact sheets. The original chronological order is maintained. ","Series 7: CD-ROMs, 2001-2008, Boxes 32-33","This series include CD-ROMs containing digital photos. Included are photos from 2007 board meeting presentations, dedications, ceremonies, and other images used for the Courier newsletter.

","Series 8: Original Indexes, 1971-1993, Box 34","This series contains original indexes created by the OPA for their photo archive. The OPA created a subject index on paper for their 1964-1971 negatives. For 1975-1977 negatives, they used a card index system. From 1987-1993, the OPA simply used a paper index to track images they captured in chronological order.","Series 9: Slides, 1964-1998, Boxes 35-37","This series contains color slide film. Unlike the bulk of this collection, the slides were not individually indexed and identified by the OPA. Most of the slides were grouped together alphabetically by subject in two binders, while other slides were mixed together and stored loosely in a bankers box. Many of the slides were used in public presentations conducted by the OPA, especially for bond referendum presentations. This series is arranged alphabetically by subject, and the slides are in PrintFile slide preservers. ","Series 10: Photographs, 1963-2009, Boxes 38-41","The OPA maintained a separate collection of photographic prints organized by subject which are featured in this series. When the collection was originally donated to the Virginia Room, there were many loose photographs that did not have a subject file associated with them. Those loose photos were added to the already-existing file system. In some instances, photographs were removed from their main subject folder and given a new sub-folder to further expand the index and create better access. In some instances, negatives, contact sheets, and news releases can be found in these folders. The folders are arranged alphabetically by subject. ","Series 11: Office of Public Affairs Employee Magnetic Photo Albums, c. 1970s-2000, Boxes 42-44","The OPA staff created and maintained their own magnetic photo albums.

Manning was philatelic curator of the Smithsonian Institute from 1922 to 1951, the first woman outside the sciences to achieve the rank of Assistant Curator.","Robertson moved to Arlington, Virginia with his grandmother and attended Washington-Lee High School. In 1944, he quit school and joined the Navy as a Fireman First Class (EM striker) and earned the nickname “Rebel”. During World War II he served on tank landing ships in the Pacific arena including the USS Sphinx (LST-963) in 1944 and the USS Orvetta (IX-157) in 1946.","At age 19, he married high school sweetheart Ruby Lee Binsted on October 19, 1946. The couple moved into government housing in Arlington, Virginia. Around the same time, Robertson enrolled as a student at the National School of Photography on 1005 E. Street, N.W. In the early 1950s, Robertson worked as a commercial photographer for Ackad Studios on Connecticut Avenue NW in Washington D.C. He snapped photos of celebrities, politicians, embassy officials, weddings, and even traditional studio portraits for Ackad.","In 1954, the Robertsons moved to 6907 Pine Crest Avenue in McLean, Virginia in the West McLean subdivision. Robertson joined the Fairfax County Fire Department on June 1, 1955 as a Fire Dispatcher, becoming one of its first paid employees.

In September 1976, he retired as a Captain.","After retiring, he and his wife volunteered at the McLean Treasure Trove, a consignment shop which benefited Fairfax Hospital. Always an avid collector, Robertson frequently visited yard sales collecting “historical” items.

Included in this series are photographs of fire vehicles from the Bailey’s Crossroads Volunteer Fire Department, Franconia Volunteer Fire Department, Lorton Volunteer Fire Department, McLean Volunteer Fire Department, and the Vienna Volunteer Fire Department as well as the fire board at the Central Fire Control Station. Photos of the groundbreaking of the Reston Fire Station and dedication of the Vienna Fire Station are also included as well as scenes from the Virginia State Firemen’s School. Subjects also include car accidents, crime scenes, fire scenes, and portraits of firefighters. Some of the negatives for these prints may be found in sub-series 3-1.","Sub-Series 2-2: Crane Co., Undated \nCrane Co., a plumbing and heating supply firm, opened a new Washington branch location at 10700 Hanna Street in Beltsville, Maryland in 1954. The firm previously operated its Washington branch at 1225 I Street N.W. since the 1920s. The new building had an enclosed warehouse area, offices, display room and was located near a railroad siding. It can be presumed that the photographs in this series are of the newly opened building. Of particular note is that Kahlil Daoud Ackad was the Washington branch manager for Crane Co. from 1950-1959. K.D. Ackad was the brother of Abdon Daoud Ackad, owner of Ackad Studios of which Hugh Robertson photographed for.","Sub-Series 2-3: Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, 1948-c.1950s \nPhotographs in this series depict scenes from Washington D.C., Maryland or Virginia.

Also included are a series of photos of a church cornerstone laying service presided over by Archbishop Michael, leader of the Greek Church in North and South America. The Washington D.C. church depicted is either Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church or St. Sophia Greek Orthodox Church both of which were presided over by Archbishop Michael between 1951 and 1952.","Sub-Series 2-4: Embassy of Pakistan, Washington, D.C., c.1953-1955 \nIn October 1954, when Hugh L. Robertson worked for Ackad Studios, he covered the Prime Minister of Pakistan Mohammad Ali Bograthe’s visit to Washington on behalf of the Pakistan Embassy. Earlier that year in May, he photographed the wedding of Capt. Azhar H. Sadik and Dr. Iffat Nafis Shoaib, daughter of Mohamed Shoaib, the Executive Director of the World Bank, in the Pakistan Embassy. Photographs also included in this series are of a social event at the Pakistan Embassy of which Vice President Richard M. Nixon and his wife, Pat Nixon, attended. Of particular note is the photograph of Richard Nixon smoking a hookah.","Sub-Series 2-5: Dumont Television Network Unknown Television Episode, c. 1950s \nPhotographs in this series depict the filming of a television episode from an unknown DuMont Television Network series. The show features three Indonesian women dressed in cultural garb. The women interact with the host on set and perform dancing routines.

Robertson served on tank landing ships in the Pacific Arena from 1944-1946. The photographs in this series depict post-war China and Japan. Subjects include Qingdao, China; Tokyo, Japan; Yokosuka, Japan; and Mount Fuji. The photographs are dated 1947 in what appear to be Robertson’s handwriting. The U.S. Navy discharged Robertson in 1946, so it is possible that these photographs are misdated or not even photographed by Robertson himself.","Sub-Series 2-7: Unidentified, Undated \nPhotographs in this series are unidentified and feature portraits, houses, weddings, social events, and scenery. These photographs were taken by Robertson while he was in photography school and later working for Ackad Studios.","Series 3: Negatives, 1948-1959","Sub-Series 3-1: Fairfax County Fire Department, 1954-1959 \nRobertson took many photographs throughout his career of scenes within the Fairfax County Fire Department.

Subjects of particular interest include the controlled burn of Ossian Hall; billboard signage of the McLean Carnival which was hosted by the McLean VFD; the dedication of the Vienna Fire Station; a wedding of a firefighter at Saint John’s Episcopal Church in Centreville, Virginia; the Washington D.C. Fire Prevention Parade of which the Fairfax County Fire Department participated; and a barn fire which may have been J. Preston Rogers’ McLean, Virginia barn that burned on October 27, 1954.
