Description
An account of the resource
The Smithfield Preston Foundation collection consists of 200 letters written almost exclusively by two generations of members of the Preston family of southwest Virginia, Kentucky, and South Carolina, to James and Sarah Preston McDowell of Rockbridge County, Virginia.
The digital collection consists of selected letters and transcripts from the physical collection, in addition to some brief biographical information on some correspondents, created by previous department staff and available through a legacy system. In 2020, these materials were moved to Omeka for improved access, though rescans could not be completed at the time and some images have a lower resolution.

Description
An account of the resource
The Smithfield Preston Foundation collection consists of 200 letters written almost exclusively by two generations of members of the Preston family of southwest Virginia, Kentucky, and South Carolina, to James and Sarah Preston McDowell of Rockbridge County, Virginia.
The digital collection consists of selected letters and transcripts from the physical collection, in addition to some brief biographical information on some correspondents, created by previous department staff and available through a legacy system. In 2020, these materials were moved to Omeka for improved access, though rescans could not be completed at the time and some images have a lower resolution.

Description
An account of the resource
The Smithfield Preston Foundation collection consists of 200 letters written almost exclusively by two generations of members of the Preston family of southwest Virginia, Kentucky, and South Carolina, to James and Sarah Preston McDowell of Rockbridge County, Virginia.
The digital collection consists of selected letters and transcripts from the physical collection, in addition to some brief biographical information on some correspondents, created by previous department staff and available through a legacy system. In 2020, these materials were moved to Omeka for improved access, though rescans could not be completed at the time and some images have a lower resolution.

Description
An account of the resource
The Smithfield Preston Foundation collection consists of 200 letters written almost exclusively by two generations of members of the Preston family of southwest Virginia, Kentucky, and South Carolina, to James and Sarah Preston McDowell of Rockbridge County, Virginia.
The digital collection consists of selected letters and transcripts from the physical collection, in addition to some brief biographical information on some correspondents, created by previous department staff and available through a legacy system. In 2020, these materials were moved to Omeka for improved access, though rescans could not be completed at the time and some images have a lower resolution.

Description
An account of the resource
The Smithfield Preston Foundation collection consists of 200 letters written almost exclusively by two generations of members of the Preston family of southwest Virginia, Kentucky, and South Carolina, to James and Sarah Preston McDowell of Rockbridge County, Virginia.
The digital collection consists of selected letters and transcripts from the physical collection, in addition to some brief biographical information on some correspondents, created by previous department staff and available through a legacy system. In 2020, these materials were moved to Omeka for improved access, though rescans could not be completed at the time and some images have a lower resolution.

Description
An account of the resource
The Smithfield Preston Foundation collection consists of 200 letters written almost exclusively by two generations of members of the Preston family of southwest Virginia, Kentucky, and South Carolina, to James and Sarah Preston McDowell of Rockbridge County, Virginia.
The digital collection consists of selected letters and transcripts from the physical collection, in addition to some brief biographical information on some correspondents, created by previous department staff and available through a legacy system. In 2020, these materials were moved to Omeka for improved access, though rescans could not be completed at the time and some images have a lower resolution.

Description
An account of the resource
The Smithfield Preston Foundation collection consists of 200 letters written almost exclusively by two generations of members of the Preston family of southwest Virginia, Kentucky, and South Carolina, to James and Sarah Preston McDowell of Rockbridge County, Virginia.
The digital collection consists of selected letters and transcripts from the physical collection, in addition to some brief biographical information on some correspondents, created by previous department staff and available through a legacy system. In 2020, these materials were moved to Omeka for improved access, though rescans could not be completed at the time and some images have a lower resolution.

Description
An account of the resource
The Smithfield Preston Foundation collection consists of 200 letters written almost exclusively by two generations of members of the Preston family of southwest Virginia, Kentucky, and South Carolina, to James and Sarah Preston McDowell of Rockbridge County, Virginia.
The digital collection consists of selected letters and transcripts from the physical collection, in addition to some brief biographical information on some correspondents, created by previous department staff and available through a legacy system. In 2020, these materials were moved to Omeka for improved access, though rescans could not be completed at the time and some images have a lower resolution.

Description
An account of the resource
The Smithfield Preston Foundation collection consists of 200 letters written almost exclusively by two generations of members of the Preston family of southwest Virginia, Kentucky, and South Carolina, to James and Sarah Preston McDowell of Rockbridge County, Virginia.
The digital collection consists of selected letters and transcripts from the physical collection, in addition to some brief biographical information on some correspondents, created by previous department staff and available through a legacy system. In 2020, these materials were moved to Omeka for improved access, though rescans could not be completed at the time and some images have a lower resolution.

Description
An account of the resource
The Smithfield Preston Foundation collection consists of 200 letters written almost exclusively by two generations of members of the Preston family of southwest Virginia, Kentucky, and South Carolina, to James and Sarah Preston McDowell of Rockbridge County, Virginia.
The digital collection consists of selected letters and transcripts from the physical collection, in addition to some brief biographical information on some correspondents, created by previous department staff and available through a legacy system. In 2020, these materials were moved to Omeka for improved access, though rescans could not be completed at the time and some images have a lower resolution.
