Richmond by Rice

Help us identify the people and places in the photographs of Richmond in the 1950s.

This selection of images from the Adolph B. Rice Photograph Collection documents Richmond during the 1950s. Rice's commercial studio in Richmond served businesses, industry, and state and local governments, with assignments ranging from studio portraits and advertising shots to aerial views. A collaboration between the Library of Virginia and the popular Internet photo-sharing Web site Flickr offers history enthusiasts a chance to help identify more of Rice's images. Log on to "The Commons" (www.flickr.com/commons), click on the Library of Virginia logo, and see if you recognize scenes of Richmond from 50 years ago.
