Meet Rin, our archives intern, who’s diving into the skies of the past! They’re currently cataloging the Rudy Rodgers Aerial Photography Collection—a stunning archive of over 7,000 images capturing Winchester, Frederick County, and other parts of the Lower Shenandoah Valley from above.
Donated to the Historical Society in 2002, this collection showcases Rudy’s passion for flying and photography. Rogers, a native of Boyce and retired, started his company Bird's Eye View Aerial Photo in 1987 and continued taking aerial shots until the early 2000s. Rin is helping preserve his legacy by organizing and indexing the images, and making this treasure trove more accessible.
