OUR MISSION
To connect people to America’s
past through the unparalleled
story of Virginia.
By collecting, preserving
and interpreting the
Commonwealth’s history,
we link past with present and
inspire future generations.
Dear VHS Supporter:
We are pleased to present to you the Virginia Historical Society’s 2013 Special Edition
Annual Report. As in the past, you will find information on our exhibitions, a listing of some
of the many additions to our already incredible collection, an overview of the lectures and
events we’ve hosted, and the names of our research fellows for the year.

COVER — United States flag with 31 stars arranged into one
overall star. The designer of this configuration has skillfully
achieved seeming symmetry despite working with an odd
number of stars. This was one of the first U.S. flags to fly over
Richmond after its capture on April 3, 1865. It was taken back
to New Jersey by Captain and Brevet Major Frederick Martin of
General Benjamin Butler’s staff, who was briefly military
mayor of Richmond. His granddaughter gave it to the Westfield
(New Jersey) Historical Society, which gave it to the Virginia
Historical Society “as a symbol of friendship between two
historical societies, one in the South, and one in the North.”

But we cannot rest on our past achievements. If we learn nothing else from Virginia’s
history, it is how remarkably forward-thinking the people of the commonwealth
have always been. The VHS itself is the product of such thinking. Our founders wanted to
preserve the past not for themselves, but for the generations of Virginians to come.

It was a dynamic vision. Some might even have called it audacious.

And the success has been undeniable. We intend to build upon it, ushering in a new era of

Donor recognition: Cathy Boe, Virginia Historical Society
Without a doubt, the Virginia Historical Society had an excellent 2013, owing to the continuing
generosity of our donors and patrons and the dedication of our staff, volunteers and
trustees. We are privileged, indeed, to have such a supportive — and growing — community.

Editor and project manager: Elaine McFadden,
Virginia Historical Society
But unlike our past reports — and unlike any other annual report you’ve seen — this one
focuses on our future.
We will do it through our new Story of Virginia Campaign.
This is not a traditional bricks and mortar effort. Instead, it’s a $38 million campaign that
puts learning at the heart of our mission.
The Story of Virginia Campaign will help us renew and
maximize our existing physical space so that we are able to
display even more of our collections, host more and larger
groups in our classrooms, lecture halls and public spaces
and build capacity behind-the-scenes so that we can continue
to preserve and curate the historical items and artifacts
entrusted to our care.
The Story of Virginia Campaign will open our facility, our
collections and our expertise to an even wider audience.
The goal, however, remains the same: collect, preserve and
interpret Virginia’s past for future generations.

The Story of Virginia Campaign
Virginia at the Crossroads of History
THE STORY OF VIRGINIA EXHIBITION
The new Story of Virginia exhibition will offer visitors new ways
to explore the connections between their favorite era in
Virginia history and other points in time. The new exhibition will
consist almost entirely of original objects and manuscripts,
numbering approximately 500, supplemented with audiovisuals,
short films, and graphics.
History leaves its imprint on every facet of our lives.
It runs ceaselessly in the background — gathering
to it people and events that in the moment may
seem insignificant, but in the future, they become the
We will also use technology to add even greater depth to the
experience, linking the exhibition to our website and to mobile
devices. This is especially important for those unable to visit
the Story of Virginia in person — be they scholars conducting
research from afar or school children learning about history in
their classrooms around the world.
Set to open in 2015, the
new Story of Virginia
exhibition will be a rich,
engaging experience for
all of our visitors.
essential common threads of our lives.
Virginia is that essential thread. It binds our nation’s
historical narrative together in ways that may not
always be obvious but are critical to giving that story
both meaning and purpose.
Our new campaign is called “The Story of Virginia”
for a simple reason: our history is America’s history.
Telling Virginia’s story tells the story of us all.
And we intend to tell it to the world.

Linking Past with Present
The Story of Virginia Exhibition
Our long-term exhibition, The
Story of Virginia will occupy more
than 10,000 sq. ft. and will offer
the most comprehensive look
at Virginia’s rich history than can
be found anywhere. But, it can’t
tell every story of Virginia,
nor can it include all the great
treasures in our collection.
Our reorganization of space
will create larger galleries for
changing exhibitions, which can
highlight particular stories,
either as a more in-depth look at
something covered briefly in
The Story of Virginia or as a way
to tell a completely different tale.
4
Changing Galleries
Our re-imagined museum space will give us greater opportunities to mount
specialized, traveling exhibitions, in addition to giving us the needed space
and added security to host a much wider and more exciting variety of
changing exhibitions.
Perhaps most important, the changing exhibition space will allow us to put
history in the current moment — linking the past to current events to show
the extent to which history informs our daily experience.
The new space also will give the VHS far more opportunities to host exhibitions
from other museums, private galleries, and collectors that otherwise would
not appear in central Virginia. These changing exhibits will include national
topics and collections not normally associated with history museums.
An exhibition of Virginia
landscape paintings in the
Olsson Family Gallery will
show the great diversity to be
found in Virginia’s land.
Exceptional beauty can be
found in our beaches, our
Piedmont, the Shenandoah
Valley, our mountains and our
rugged Appalachian corridor.
The landscape of Virginia
determined how the original
colony would be settled, how
the Revolutionary and Civil
Wars would be fought, and
how industry would develop in
the twentieth century.

What’s Your Story?
Inspiring the Next Generation
Virginia Voices
History is a collection of stories. Some of them are sweeping and grand and
provide the fodder for textbooks and Hollywood films.
Collecting the stories of real Virginians is the aim of our documentary film
project “Virginia Voices.” Through a special website, Virginians will be able to
submit videos telling their stories to the larger world. Some may be simple —
a catalog of their daily routine. Others may be stories from their own history
— recollections of events, people, and places special to them.
Our new Learning Center will reflect our commitment to this growing
community. Its design and programming will complement and build upon
both our long-term and changing exhibitions. And it will be a real center
of learning that will make extensive use of our collections through learning
galleries, our on-site experts and the latest historical research.
No matter the subject, we will offer Virginians the opportunity to put their
stories on film, and we will weave them together into a single narrative that
gives viewers a panoramic view of Virginia life as seen by the people who live it.
www.virginiavoices.org
Learning Center
Learning is at the heart of the VHS mission. It always has been. From our
founding in 1831, the society has opened its doors to scholars and researchers
looking for historical evidence in our collections. We still actively engage
researchers from across the globe. But when we talk of learning today, it
means teachers, students and adult learners — citizens, current and future,
who access our resources to learn more about where Virginia has come
from, and where it may go.
But most stories are personal — and just as important.
6
Virginians can submit their
short videos to a special website,
www.virginiavoices.org.
Uploading is simple and quick,
and every submission will be
promptly acknowledged.
HistoryConnects, our interactive video conferencing initiative, brings the
VHS into classrooms, civic meetings and just about any place where
broadband access is available. HistoryConnects is such an important part
of our educational efforts, it will have a permanent studio in the new
Learning Center and become an integral visual and interpretive resource
for the new Story of Virginia exhibition. And with an expanded broadband
network inside the VHS headquarters, our staff will be able to broadcast
HistoryConnects programming from our galleries, as well.
In 2013, the VHS became one of the first major
museums to allow access to its full catalog
of programs anywhere in the world using Skype.
Now, schools and organizations can experience
live, interactive learning on their computers in
their classrooms.

Opening the Doors to History
Boulevard Plaza
A museum collection is only useful when it is accessible.
We’ve worked hard to make our collections as widely
available as possible.
Our redesigned Boulevard Plaza will offer unobstructed views
of our original 1912 historic core, Battle Abbey, and provide
pedestrian traffic with a safe, obstacle-free walkway to the
front door. Our front terraces will be improved to create a
more inviting space, which also can be opened for community
events and other informal gatherings.
South Entrance
The South Entrance to the VHS is the main
entry point to our headquarters. And like our
Boulevard entrance, we intend to make it
a genuine gateway to our facility and collections.
We will expand the main
entrance from our parking lot,
enhancing and improving
both visibility and signage —
all with the aim of making
the space more prominent,
open and welcoming for
all our visitors.
The Virginia Historical Society faces Richmond’s Boulevard, one of the city’s grandest streets. We seek to embrace it, creating a vibrant
public space along the Boulevard that welcomes our visitors and neighbors and engages them in our mission.

digital learning and research initiatives
Since 1831, the VHS has been the steward of treasures beyond compare —
Virginia’s history. Digital projects accessible through our website
www.vahistorical.org will connect people to America’s past in a way that
could not have been imagined only a few years ago. Technology makes
it possible to research our entire collection with a device small enough to
fit in your hand.
VHS collections include incomparable Civil War treasures, such as the
headquarters papers of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, personal
and military records of such figures as Generals Robert E. Lee, James Ewell
Brown Stuart and Thomas Jonathan “Stonewall” Jackson, and papers of
hundreds of Confederate soldiers who served in Virginia and throughout the
Confederacy. VHS holdings also offer extensive insights into the Union side
of the conflict. Over the years, we have been able to collect large groupings of
Union soldier letters and diaries, along with such resources as the renowned
collections of Federal mapmaker and diarist Robert Knox Sneden, the
sketchbook of Corporal Thomas Place, documenting the Suffolk Campaign,
and papers of Union naval officer William Benthall Brooks, who served with
Admiral Farragut in the blockade of southern ports.
10
Making History Personal, Public
Website Redesign
The VHS website at www.vahistorical.org has gone through many changes
over the years. Each refinement has been driven by the need to serve our
growing, global audience, and provide them with better, faster, more relevant
access to our collections and resources.
Our new website was launched in the summer of 2013 and is designed to
give users unprecedented ease of access to our collections. Sharp, clean and
featuring enhanced audio and video capabilities, the site is a model for history
museums across the country.
Individual donations of artifacts and relics to
the VHS have made our collections one of the
most admired in the world. Sometimes, they
come as single pieces and sometimes as a
group, as in the case of the trunk belonging
to Mary Custis Lee. The daughter of Gen.
Robert E. Lee, she was the guardian of her
father’s legacy. Among the most admired
items in the trunk were stars from Gen. Lee’s
uniform, her passport for a trip she took to
Egypt, and photographs of family members,
including herself.
People looking to discover their personal
histories have long turned to our trove
of historical records for insight and
guidance. We are proud to have added
a special section in our online research
space called Unknown No Longer:
A Database of Virginia Slave Names.
Assembled from our vast array of
records, which includes material about
enslaved persons and slave owners,
researchers are now able to look up
names, occupations, ages, locations,
and related surviving information to help
them find African Americans from the
seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries.
The redesigned website now is
viewable on different devices
and platforms. Special
features like the online Story
of Virginia exhibiton invite
visitors to scroll through
different chapters of history,
to take a closer look at
artifacts by enlarging images
and reading captions and to
watch related videos.
11
Uncovering the Past
The VHS has launched a comprehensive plan to assure that learning is
at the heart of our mission connecting people to America’s past through
the unparalleled story of Virginia. By collecting, preserving, and
interpreting the Commonwealth’s history, we link past with present
and inspire future generations.
R estoring the Charles Hoffbauer
memorial military Murals
Since 2011, Cleo Mullins and her highly skilled team from the
Richmond Conservation Studio have been bringing back
to life one of our signature collections: Charles Hoffbauer’s
Memorial Military Murals.
For a century, these exquisite original works have been on
display at Battle Abbey. They define the Battle Abbey
space — giving it a personality and presence that bare walls
could never do.
Story of Virginia Campaign
Summary of Objectives
Total Capital Objective:
In 2014, the long and careful process of restoring their
original beauty will be completed. Renewing these works of
art has taken tremendous patience and supreme skill. It will
be a great pleasure to have these iconic symbols of the
Virginia Historical Society open for public viewing once again.
The Hoffbauer Murals follow the changing seasons, and
wartime fortunes, of the Confederacy. In the Autumn mural,
James Ewell Brown Stuart leads his cavalrymen on a foray
through Virginia woods.

SCHOOLS SERVED
In 2013, we served 137 schools from 32 different
localities across the commonwealth. Children
can find museums to be formidable and
intimidating places, but our education staff has
created on-site programming that strips away
the institutional mystique and creates a
dynamic, learning environment for students
and teachers.
TEACHERS INSTITUTES
In 2013, we conducted four weeks of teachers’
institutes and two day-long workshops that
served a total of 156 history teachers. The
workshops involved sixty history teachers from
Cheyenne, Wyoming, and Colorado Springs,
31
Teachers Institutes
Colorado, who were visiting the commonwealth to study slavery, the Civil War, and
Reconstruction. As part of our two-week
Teaching American History summer institute,
we took thirty-six Chesterfield County teachers
on a civil rights tour of Georgia and Alabama
from June 17 to 21. We visited sites in Atlanta,
Montgomery, Birmingham, Selma, Tuskegee,
and other locations. The second week of the
institute focused on teaching twentiethcentury American history. Finally, we conducted
two sessions of our Story of Virginia Teachers
Institute, which took place the weeks of
July 8–12 and 22–26. The sixty teachers who
attended these classes participated in an
intensive study of Virginia history that
included lectures, small group discussions,
and interactive tours of the Story of Virginia
exhibition. The teachers used the content
they learned to develop lesson plans for their
students. The Story of Virginia institutes
were held in partnership with the University
of Richmond’s School of Professional and
Continuing Studies and underwritten by
Weinstein Properties.

Financial Statement
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
statement of activities
To the Board of Trustees of the Virginia Historical Society:
Year Ended June 30, 2013
with Comparative Totals for 2012
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Virginia Historical Society
(the “Society”), which comprise the statements of financial position as of June 30, 2013 and 2012,
and the related statements of activities and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related
notes to the financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation
and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

Expenditures:
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control
relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to
design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express
no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion.

“Battle of Five Forks” — In 1879
the French artist Paul Dominique
Philippoteaux (1846–1923) came
to the United States to paint a
memorial cyclorama of the battle of
Gettysburg. That 360-degree circular
oil painting depicting Pickett’s
Charge went on display in Chicago
in 1883. Another version of the
cyclorama ended up at Gettysburg,
where it remains today. Other
Philippoteaux Civil War paintings are
on display at the Pollard Memorial
Library in Lowell, Mass. Around 1885,
he turned his talent for capturing
military combat on canvas to the
battle of Five Forks. It is that painting
that the VHS acquired. The Battle
of Five Forks, given in loving memory
of Peter Charles Bance, Jr., by his
mother and father.

“Natural Bridge” — Because of railroads, Natural Bridge was more accessible than
ever to tourists when the Lynchburg painter Flavius Fisher painted it in 1882. More than
a dozen visitors, including women and children, are pictured at the base of the arch.
To them the bridge was a spectacular, but not mysterious site, for it had become
accepted that the bridge was created by slow erosion rather than some unfathomable
cataclysmic event. To maximize the sense of the bridge’s height, Fisher gives the viewer
an extremely low perspective, and renders the figures on a tiny scale. Lora M. Robins
