October is American Archives Month. We’re celebrating by sharing our digital collections of Shenandoah Valley and JMU history, including JMU historic photographs, ESPN College GameDay posters, Shenandoah National Park oral histories, and a recent addition to our online collection: black-and-white photographs from a logging company based in West Virginia in the 1920s and 1930s.
