Historical Information

Cultural resource investigations are performed prior to the construction of public school facilities. The primary purpose of the reports is to locate and identify archeological sites, historic standing structures, and other cultural resources in order to determine their significance for eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places.

Scope and Content

The collection consists of archeological investigations of properties under consideration as sites for new public school facilities in Loudoun County. One report is a history of desegregation in Loudoun County Public Schools and, in particular, Douglass Elementary School. The reports were commissioned by Loudoun County Public Schools, consultants, or developers. The reports are organized chronologically. When possible, the name of the school built (or to-be-built) on the site has been included. The collection also contains a USB drive with electronic copies of the reports.
