Acquisition Information: Acquired by donation from the Shenandoah County Historical Society. The society does not maintain a historic collection so any items donated by them are automatically transferred to the library.
Processing Information: The origins of these items and how they were originally stored is unknown. They have been processed into a single collection based on their association with the Shenandoah County Historical Society. Since donations are ongoing, at this time the collection has not been sorted into different series or in any alpha/numerical system.
Biographical/ Historical Note
The Shenandoah County Historical Society was founded in 1985 to help preserve and interpret the history of Shenandoah County Virginia. It focuses on creating publications about Shenandoah County, educational events, and research services. Unlike other local history organizations it only maintains a limited collection of historic documents, photographs, and items. In 2013 it opened the Historic Courthouse Museum in Woodstock Virginia where it also maintains its office.
Scope and Content
This collection consists of approximately 5.5 linear feet of materials. This includes approximately 118 folders of documents and photographs, four yearbooks, a single box of five scrap and record books, and one oversize folder containing a land grant.
Arrangement
This collection is arranged in the order in which the items were received from the Shenandoah County Historical Society.
