The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Vol. 12: Published Quarterly by the Virginia Historical Society, for the Year Ending June, 1905 (Classic Reprint)

The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography has been published by the Virginia Historical Society since 1893, serving as a scholarly pillar for the preservation of Virginian genealogical and historical records. Volume 12, covering the period ending in June 1905, was edited by William G. Stanard, a meticulous historian who served as the society's secretary and editor for several decades. His work during this era was instrumental in documenting primary source materials, including colonial land grants, early church records, and personal correspondence that might otherwise have been lost to time.

The 2017 edition featuring ISBN 9780265806555 is a modern print-on-demand reproduction of this 1905 volume. These classic reprints are produced by organizations seeking to make public domain historical archives digitally and physically accessible to modern researchers and genealogists. While the content reflects the scholarly standards and historiography prevalent at the turn of the 20th century, the physical reprint itself serves as a utilitarian bridge, allowing current readers to engage with original source materials preserved by the Virginia Historical Society over a century ago.
