What Arlington Treasures Are Hiding In Your Attic or Filing Cabinet?

Center for Local History Archivist Heather shows an Arlington yearbook and a 1935 Franklin Property Atlas to a class of 4th graders at Barrett Elementary School.

During Pride Month, we had hoped to share a story from our archive relating to Arlington's LGBTQIA+ community and history. Unfortunately, we were unable to do so because our collection currently has a shortage of materials related to these topics.

We'd love to fix this gap, and many others, so that we may continue to fulfill our mission to document all of Arlington's diverse community. If you have photos, newsletters, flyers, and/or other materials (physical or digital) related to untold Arlington County history - LGBTQIA+ or anything else - we'd love to add it to the Community Archive.

To donate, visit the Center for Local History at Central Library, call us at 703-228-5966, or email us at localhistory@arlingtonva.us.

Learn more about the kinds of materials that can be donated to the Center for Local History.

A group of eight people stands together on a small stage in front of large windows, smiling at the camera. They hold two framed items—one is a historical document with maps and text, and the other is a framed portrait of a bearded man. Colorful blue, green, and yellow balloons decorate the space above them, celebrating Glencarlyn Library's 101st birthday.
