In response to\nthis problem, the Fairfax County History Commission funded a project of\norganizing, inventorying, and classifying the collection. Upon\ncompletion of this project in 1981, the Commission published the book\n\"Catalog of the Photographic Archive of Fairfax County, Virginia\".","The photographs in this collection represent the pictorial history of\nFairfax County from its beginnings to the mid-2000s.
