Since 1998, the annual Center for Politics' Virginia Political History Project has brought together friends, family, political professionals, legislators, and the public in a continuing effort to preserve an oral history of modern Virginia politics. In partnership with the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service, this project has examined the administrations of Virginia's more recent, former governors and other high-ranking elected officials, as well as explored the dynamics of various institutions of Virginia government.
