Remembering Arlington History Preservationist Sara Collins

Post Published: November 20, 2015

Delegate Alfonso Lopez joined Library Director Diane Kresh on Nov. 20 to honor former County history preservationist Sara Collins.

Sara Collins Resolution

Collins died last year after a remarkable career with the Library and what is now the Center for Local History at Central.

Her work was remembered this year with a resolution in the General Assembly.

Delegate Lopez made his presentation at the final meeting of the County’s History Task Force.

The group of County staff and residents is working on a 5-year plan for the future preservation and study of Arlington historic documents and records, both official and those generated by private citizens, businesses and organizations.

A final task force report will be presented to the County Board next month.

    I wasn’t able to attend the tribute to Sara Collins, but I do want to say how much I enjoyed knowing her, and how much she contributed to a series of Northern Virginia Studies conferences on the Alexandria Campus of NOVA. The late Professor Jean Braden and I were involved in planning this series of conferences, and Sara always contributed her knowledge of local resources and local history. She was special.
