Our
mission is to develop high-quality, well-researched, and reliable
history resources in digital format and deliver them to schools,
colleges, libraries, historical societies, and the general public
via the Internet. By doing this we hope to transform how American
history is taught, learned, understood, and accessed.
To
achieve this mission VCDH has committed itself to collaborative
efforts with other institutions, both within and outside of the
University of Virginia system, and to using innovative technologies
which allow information to be freely accessed by a general audience.
VCDH
has received support for its project and initiatives from the
generous donors of the University of Virginia, the National
Endowment for the Humanities, the Mellon
Foundation, the Jessie
Ball DuPont Foundation, the Virginia
Department of Education, the National
Park Service, and several private foundations.

"Working
with an e-publisher of general reference databases, I understand
how technology can advance ideas and take education to the next
level. VCDH makes pieces of history available that capture the
imagination. And to think, anyone, anywhere with a modem can
access this material for free. It will open up many minds and
hearts to history."
- F.Dixon Brooke, Jr., contributor to VCDH
