Dense with documentation and editorial content, the William and Mary College Quarterly’s contributions in the field of family history established it as the fountainhead of Virginia genealogy. In the two series published between 1892 and 1943, the Quarterly was under the direction and editorship of Lyon G. Tyler and Earl Gregg Swem. Their imprint on the Quarterly made it a model of authority, and today it is required reading for any serious investigation of Virginia genealogy. We take great pleasure therefore in announcing the reprint—in five volumes—of a complete collection of the family history articles which appeared in this highly respected periodical.
