ABOUT US
Starting in 2006, the Virginia Forum has facilitated an interdisciplinary conference open to scholars at all levels. Led by an all volunteer Board, the Forum is dedicated to advancing the understanding of Virginia's past and present going back to before its origins as an English colony and extending up to the present day.
Each year the Forum is hosted by an institution that has a strong relationship with the history and study of Virginia and Virginians.
