From July 1, 2021 - January 3, 2022
In 2019, the VMHC and the Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia (BHMVA) began a long-term partnership to share collections and resources to connect more people to the story of Virginia. The Partners in History exhibition explores how two historical organizations can collaborate to offer a more complete understanding of our past as a source of inspiration for the future.
Among the exhibition's featured artifacts are such iconic items from the BHMVA collections as a desk used by celebrated civil rights attorney Oliver W. Hill during his 22-year career with the Richmond firm of Hill, Tucker & Marsh, developing arguments that dismantled segregation and secured greater justice for all, as well as glimpses of life as captured in the vast photographic archives of the BHMVA, including majorettes from Armstrong High School (1967) and a Maggie L. Walker High School football game (1964) that bring to life the Armstrong-Walker Football Classic.
About the VMHC-BHMVA Partnership
Through this partnership, various collections from the BHMVA are being housed within the VMHC’s purpose-made secure collections storage and digitized to make them more accessible to the public. Staff from both museums are collaborating to select collections for cataloging and digitization, which will make many of these items and their remarkable stories widely discoverable for the first time. The important work of documenting and preserving these collections is a multi-year endeavor but also a labor of love for partners who share a common goal of making the rich tapestry of Virginia’s history accessible to all. There is much to look forward to!

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
