AAS 4501 Engaging Local Histories: River View Farm

The Virginia Historical Inventory (VHI) is a collection of more than 25,000 survey reports, photographs, and annotated maps documenting Virginia's cultural resources. Strengths of this collection include architectural history, genealogy, African American history, and Civil War history.

This collection digitizes over 1500 photographs and survey reports associated with the Richmond Esthetic Survey and Historic Building Survey. This survey dates to 1965 and inventories buildings and locations in the central part of Richmond, from Boulevard (now Arthur Ashe Boulevard) east to Chimborazo Park, and from the James River north to Shockoe Hill Cemetery.
