Virginia State University

Virginia State University will hire a museum administrator and a project archivist as it expands its museum gallery into a larger space in the Historic Old Towne section of Petersburg, Virginia. The capacity-building project will attract two professionals with the skills needed to strengthen the VSU Museum by developing a program of public exhibits, services, and outreach and by cataloging the papers of the late Civil Rights attorney, Oliver W. Hill, Sr. A strategic plan will be developed for the museum during the course of the project as well as a student internship program, as the university strengthens its connections with the Petersburg community.
