Restoring Richmond Plan

The City is implementing the Restoring Richmond Plan, a carefully planned step-by-step approach to reopening services, amenities and facilities impacted by COVID-19. See Affected City Services & Facilities for current service and amenity information.


Heritage includes anything of a physical, cultural or social nature that is unique to, and valued by, a community that can be passed from generation to generation. In Richmond, we value our heritage and take pride in its preservation and presentation.

Heritage Research
Archival records are evidence of the past that have value and impact for everyone. Careful preservation of these archival records is a necessary step in protecting our heritage. The City of Richmond Archives holds the records of the municipal government and it also acquires records by donation from individuals and private companies. Public access is available for research purposes. Please visit the Archives for further information.
