FAQ: Understanding Items
Items are named according to the accession number: year of accession, collection number within that year, item type (photo), and item number within that collection.
The items' source collections indicate who previously owned or donated the items to CRHC.
These images comprise a tiny part of the CRHC's massive collection of images and documents. More items from these and similar collections are available in-person or online at Online Collections | Central Rappahannock Heritage Center.
