This year’s cover reminds me of flying kites as a child with my father and later with my children. My son would watch and talk for hours, inspired by flights of imagination. Kite flying spans generations, and most of us have a memory of the first time we tangled one in a tree, or better, successfully launched one into the wind. VFH also views its participation in marking Jamestown’s 2007 commemoration as an opportunity to tell Virginia stories that capture Virginia’s entrepreneurial history. Both the encyclopedia and the anniversary will encourage Virginians and the world to visit and experience Virginia, either in person or through the web. Like kite flyers, we at the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities sometimes run against the wind to explore new horizons. In these days of diminishing resources, organizations must develop an entrepreneurial spirit to thrive. We encourage innovative, visionary thinking and — occasionally — risk-taking to bring ideas to life. As we approach the 2007 observance and the introduction of the encyclopedia, VFH remains committed to the guiding principle that Virginia’s history should include as many perspectives as possible. We will not ignore nor discount the painful stories of Virginia’s past, nor will we dismiss issues in the present or concerns for the future. Using the humanities as a vehicle for community development is one example of entrepreneurial spirit. In Martinsville, Virginia, and communities along the Eastern Shore, VFH is helping areas define themselves as unique places with valuable The humanities qualities — qualities that draw people together and help us to study the past, prepare for the attract new growth. In Martinsville, we are working future, and create with local organizations to revitalize Fayette Street, an environment a once vibrant African American neighborhood where new ideas and business district. Vintage photographs are are encouraged and being collected and preserved, and extensive oral new ways of thinking histories are being recorded and documented. are possible. The Along the Eastern Shore similar cooperation humanities give between cultural groups and other institutions is wings to ideas. occurring. With VFH funding, the Chincoteague Island Library initiated a long-term effort to document, through research and the collection of oral histories, the disappearing cultural traditions of this wind-swept island. We look to extend community development projects in Southside and Southwest Virginia, while maintaining our close ties to Tidewater, Northern, and Central Virginia. The Virginia Encyclopedia, a one-of-a-kind online resource about Virginia, is another example of an entrepreneurial effort by the VFH. Thanks to seed-funding provided by the Commonwealth of Virginia, a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), and a private donor, VFH will launch this online guide to coincide with the 400th anniversary of Jamestown. 2 To create programs that bring the humanities more fully into Virginia’s public life, we will continue to focus on our strengths in African American and Virginia Indian history and heritage, Virginia folklife and traditional culture, and books and literacy. This is our commitment to the future. With wind, flight is achievable for the otherwise earthbound components of a kite — wood, paper, and twine. Likewise, funding and encouragement from VFH give ideas flight. That’s why we remain dedicated to bringing the spirit and diversity of Virginia culture to citizens of the Commonwealth. Robert C. Vaughan, III President knowledge shared is knowledge preserved. 3 virginia foundation for the humanities annual report 2004-05 The VFH Grant Program spans reading and literacy, science and technology, African American heritage, media and culture, student and teacher outreach, Virginia folklife and traditional culture, and historical preservation, to name only a few kinds of programs.

The VFH Resident Fellows Program supported 16 distinguished scholars this year. Their work, which includes conducting research and completing book projects, is scholarship in the public interest.
