It has been said that the daily newspaper is “the first draft of history.” For more than 100 years, The Virginian-Pilot and its forebears have used photography to visually record and interpret history in the making. This highly-anticipated exhibition surveys the photographs which have so effectively recorded the stories of our region and the nation. The images comprising this show are by staff photographers of various periods, artfully covering the items of most interest to their readers at the time. In order to examine the evolving character of our region, the last 20 years represented in the exhibition will showcase the work of many of The Virginian-Pilot photographers working today.

A podcast related to the exhibition is available for download. For more interactive features such as commentary from the photographer featured in the exhibition, a daily blog, podcasts, and more, visit The Virginian-Pilot's multi-media page devoted to this show.
