Acquired by JMU Special Collections in 2014, the Robert J. Sullivan Papers include photographs and over eleven hundred slides documenting the city of Harrisonburg, Virginia during a critical period of growth during urban renewal initiatives from the mid-to-late 20th century.

Quick adaptability and establishing valuable partnerships were among the many factors that allowed for the successful completion of this project.
