Adopt Virginia's History
Many of the Library's maps are in desperate need of conservation and restoration before they can be released for use. These maps are available for adoption through our Adopt Virginia's History program. Any donation of $100 or more towards the conservation of a map will be noted in the maps catalog record, and a card noting the adoption will be placed with the map. Additionally, you will receive a handsome certificate recognizing your contribution. For more information and a list of maps in current need of conservation, please call Dan Stackhouse at (804) 692-3813
Sponsorship Opportunities
The Fry Jefferson Map Society relies on the support of local businesses to support its mission and programming. For information on the benefits of sponsoring a Map Society program, please call Dan Stackhouse.
