HPF Permanent Reauthorization Legislation Postponed
|
|
The National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers, the National Association of Tribal Historic Preservation Officers, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and the American Cultural Resources Association have been working for years on legislation to secure permanent reauthorization of the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF). The legislation, however, will not proceed until Congress works out difficult budget negotiations for the next federal fiscal year, starting October 1, and avoiding a partial federal government shutdown. Back during the last HPF reauthorization effort in 2016, the HPF was declared by the Congressional Budget Office to have a “clean” score, or no budget impact. The HPF is funded through a small portion of the royalties that energy companies pay for the right to drill for oil and natural gas on the federally owned Outer Continental Shelf, and is not reliant on taxpayer dollars. Permanent reauthorization of the HPF would remove perennial uncertainty about the amount of the federal apportionment directed to states and tribal governments for operation of historic preservation offices. In recent years, as budget negotiations often extend well into the federal fiscal year (FFY), the federal funds are not released to state and tribal governments until the FFY is more than half over, necessitating that state and tribal governments use other funds to continue preservation office operations, increasing uncertainty from year to year over what funding levels will be, and reducing preservation offices’ ability to be proactive in their operations.

Three Virginia Places Receive Grants through the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund
|
|
In July, the National Trust for Historic Preservation announced $3 million in grants to places across the country, including three in Virginia. The Fort Monroe Foundation at Fort Monroe has commissioned a memorial honoring the humanity of the first captive Africans who were enslaved by the Portuguese and then taken by English privateers to the British Colonies at Point Comfort in 1619. The grant will assist Fort Monroe and its partners to design an interpretive plan that contextualizes the people and events of 1619 from a global perspective. Hampton University received a grant to install an environmental control system to aid with preserving artist Charles White's 1943 mural “The Contribution of the Negro to Democracy in America” on the second floor of Clarke Hall, a 1913 building on Hampton's campus. In Orange, Virginia, the Montpelier Descendants Committee’s grant will be put toward creating a master project plan for their “Arc of Enslaved Communities” project, a descendant-led framework for the research, interpretation, physical discovery, and promotion of sites and projects centered on the contributions of the enslaved in Virginia during the Founding era.

Cornland School Goes on the Move
|
|
The Cornland School in the City of Chesapeake recently was moved from its original location to the site of a proposed new park alongside the Dismal Swamp Canal. The school building was listed in the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register in 2015. Built in 1903, the one-room schoolhouse served African American students in the Pleasant Grove School District until 1952. The school had stood vacant for a lengthy period but a new purpose as a museum and educational display has been proposed as part of the City’s park design. Moving a Register-listed building requires approval in advance from the Virginia State Review Board and the National Park Service in order for the property to retain its historic designation. The approval was granted by both bodies and the building was placed on a tractor trailer on August 24 to be taken to its new site. A brief video documents the effort. The proposed park is currently in the design phase.

Emancipation & Freedom Monument Unveiled at Brown’s Island in Richmond
|
|
On September 22, 2021, the Emancipation & Freedom Monument was unveiled at Brown’s Island in Richmond. The monument project began as part of the Virginia Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Commission’s commemoration of the 150th anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation during the Civil War and the beginning of abolition of slavery in the then-Confederate states. Designed by artist Thomas Jay Warren, the monument features two 12-foot bronze figures representing a man, woman, and infant newly freed from slavery. Dedicated to the contributions of African American Virginians in the centuries-long fight for emancipation and freedom, the monument highlights notable persons who made significant contributions to the emancipation and freedom of formerly enslaved persons and/or descendants. The base of the monument features names, images, and biographical information of ten African American Virginians whose lives were dedicated to emancipation and freedom – five individuals from the period before emancipation through 1865 and five individuals who continued to work for freedom from 1866 to 1970.

Fauquier County’s New Interactive Story Map
|
|
Over the summer, the Afro-American Historical Association of Fauquier County and The Piedmont Environmental Council debuted a new interactive story map that tells the stories of Fauquier County’s historic African American communities. Created with funding support by The PATH Foundation, the story map provides digital access to information about the history and contributions of Fauquier’s African American communities, schools and churches established before and after the Civil War. Visitors can click on each point to see a photo and read a short description. A “read more” cue takes visitors to an interactive webpage with additional history and photographs. The project is the result of many years of research by local historians and community residents, with important contributions provided by County staff, especially to support the website’s GIS functionality, and by Piedmont Environmental Council.

Swan Island Restoration Begins in Chesapeake Bay
|
|
Coastal islands and marshes in Chesapeake Bay are disappearing, along with the ecosystem services and shoreline protection benefits they provide. Within the last 50 years, the cumulative effects of shoreline erosion, land subsidence, inadequate sediment supply, and sea level rise have accelerated the rate of island submergence. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and their partners are working to reverse this trend on Swan Island. An informative article and 90-minute video about the ambitious project provides a summary of the work that has been undertaken to date and plans for future work. The project has potential to guide future work on other islands in the bay, including Tangier Island, home of a Register-listed historic district that includes a now-submerged archaeological site and most of the Town of Tangier.

Newtown School Restoration Project Begins
|

The Newtown School in Albemarle County is a former Rosenwald school that provided educational opportunities to African American children during the Jim Crow era of segregation. Also historically known as the Greenwood School, the building served multiple other community uses over the years. More recently, the vacant building began to deteriorate, and school alumni, local residents, Mt. Zion Church, and volunteers have launched an effort to restore the building and return it to use. Jody Lahendro, recently retired preservation architect for the University of Virginia and chair of the Virginia State Review Board, is providing architectural services and noted that the Newtown School is a model example of a two-teacher, south-facing Rosenwald school.

The American Soldier in World War II Digitizing Project
|
|
At Virginia Tech, The American Soldier in World War II is a project to make available to scholars and to the public a remarkable collection of written reflections on war and military service by American soldiers who served during the Second World War. In its efforts to mobilize, train, equip, and lead the largest fighting force in the nation's history, the US War Department created an in-house Army Research Branch (ARB) staffed and advised by the country's leading social and behavioral scientists. To help create a more efficient and effective fighting force, the Branch surveyed approximately half a million individuals over the course of the war. The American Soldier in World War II project is rendering these rich, untapped sources accessible to the public for the first time. The years-long project includes use of cutting-edge digital tools, including virtual reality that allows immersive visualization and artificial intelligence analysis of records and images, as well as thousands of hours of work by students, researchers, and volunteers to create easily searchable online collections available to the public.

Arlington County Community Featured in New Library of Virginia Exhibit
|
|
“Columbia Pike: Through the Lens of Community” is a new photography exhibition that explores an Arlington community so diverse that it’s been described as a “World in a Zip Code.”
|
|
|
|
|
Columbia Pike originated in the 19th century as a toll road connecting rural Virginia with the nation's capital. Today, the corridor is one of the most culturally diverse communities in the nation. Unlike in many other parts of the country or the world, however, the stunningly diverse group of people—representing every continent—who live and work there do so in relative harmony. More than 70 of the thousands of Columbia Pike Documentary Project photographs in the Library of Virginia’s collections are highlighted in the new exhibit, which will continue through January 8, 2022. Photographer Lloyd Wolf discusses several of the photographic works in a video about the exhibit.

Digitized “Confederate Slave Payrolls” Now Available
|
|
During the U.S. Civil War, the Confederate Army required enslavers to loan their enslaved people to the military. Throughout the Confederacy from Florida to Virginia, these enslaved people served as cooks and laundresses, labored in deadly conditions to mine potassium nitrate to create gunpowder, worked in ordnance factories, and dug the extensive defensive trench networks that defended cities such as Petersburg, Virginia.
|
|
|
|
|
To track this extensive network of thousands of enslaved people and the pay their enslavers received for their lease, the Confederate Quartermaster Department created the record series now called the “Confederate Slave Payrolls.” This series is fully digitized and available to view in the National Archives Catalog. The records shed light on the lives of enslaved people hired out by enslavers to the Confederate Army during the Civil War, and may provide a wealth of genealogical information relating to the names and home counties of African Americans. The payrolls show the time period covered, the Confederate officer under whom the enslaved people worked, the place of service, names of the enslaver, names and occupations of the enslaved person, number of days employed, daily rate of wages, amount paid (to the enslaver, not the enslaved person), and the signature of the person receiving the payment.
