Compiled by F. Holly Hodges

Second Edition, Revised and Enlarged by Harold M. Marsh, Jr., and E. Lee Shepard

Additional entries compiled by Kristen Charnock; updating of guide entries for the online version executed by Graham T. Dozier.

The preparation of this guide was supported by grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, an independent federal agency.

Publication of the second edition was made possible, in part, by the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities and Public Policy as part of its African-American Heritage Program, which includes The African-American History in Virginia Grant Program, The African-American Heritage Database Project, and the African-American Heritage Trails Program, a partnership between VFH and the Virginia Tourism Corporation. The VFH also provided funding in 2006 through the same African-American Heritage Program, to enable additional collections processing and creation of entries for the updated version of this guide.

Additional support was provided by the Publication Fund of the Virginia Historical Society.
