Welcome to our “co-op for historians”…a digital archive allowing members to share archival treasures and publish essays and  articles, with a special emphasis on the History of Southwest Virginia.

Why create another digital archive? We hope it will become a  valuable resource for history buffs, classroom teachers, and researchers who  are looking for in-depth information, an introduction to the best of scholarly  writing, and an overview of Virginia history.

How does this History Exchange work? For family historians who  have compiled narratives about their family tree, this is a good place to publish  their findings.  Other writers, including independent historians, former history  majors, undergraduate and graduate students, and history buffs…may be  seeking a convenient way to publish articles and essays,and instead of  submitting to a traditional print journal, they are invited to publish here.
