Discover your community's history at the annual Shenandoah Valley Archives Fair. This year's event, held at Bridgewater College on Wednesday October 12, will feature twelve archival institutions from throughout the Shenandoah Valley including the Shenandoah County Library's Truban Archives.

It will be held on the lower level of the John Kenny Forrer Learning Commons at Bridgewater College and will be of special interest to students, teachers, historians, genealogists, and anyone interested in the history of their community.
