Fairfax County History Portal Launches: More Than 5,600 Historic Photographs, Free to Browse on an Interactive Map
The Virginia Room at the City of Fairfax Regional Library launched a new online Fairfax County history portal on November 2, giving the public free 24/7 access to more than 5,600 digitized historical photographs from across the county, state and region.
The portal traces how Fairfax County has evolved from its early rural landscapes to today's diverse community. Photographs cover Annandale, Centreville, the City of Fairfax, Clifton, Herndon, Dunn Loring, Dulles Airport, Great Falls, McLean, Reston and Tysons. Most photos have been geotagged by their current address, so users can explore them on an interactive map, and images can be downloaded.
The library says documents, oral histories and other collections will be added in the coming months, and the Virginia Room welcomes donations of personal Fairfax County-area photographs to help the archive grow.
