The Shenandoah Living Archive (SLA) is a James Madison University Libraries & Educational Technologies initiative that engages students, the local community, and faculty in capturing, creating, and curating the real-time documentation of life in the Shenandoah Valley. Begun in Fall 2014, the goal of the Shenandoah Living Archive is to collect the stories of the communities that make up the rich tapestry of life in the Valley today. Materials include born-digital items (oral histories, images, video, geospatial data) and physical materials (flyers, pamphlets, diaries).
Generous funding by the Peggy Brooks Burruss Endowment supported work on both these projects which document the Shenandoah Valley, the people who live here, and its environs.
