About Mapping
Alexandria
This research required working through unprocessed collections at Alexandria’s city archives combined with records in the land deed offices in Alexandria and Arlington and Fairfax Counties.
- As a result of this preliminary research, we generated lists of possible estates and subdivisions that might have racial restrictions, which were then reviewed one-by-one.
- Alexandria’s land deeds are in the process of being digitized, so we had to work with the physical deed books in the courthouse. Both Arlington and Fairfax Counties have digitized their records, which sped up that part of the research process.
- This regional map uses current public polygon and address data from the City of Alexandria’s GIS Parcel Viewer.
The nature of this research means that we are never done. No doubt, more racially restrictive covenants exist in the City of Alexandria. We will update this list as new information is discovered.
