About this Project

Members of the Cabell Foundation, Inc., acting individually and corporately, have made this project possible. Through their financial support, donations of invaluable materials to the University of Virginia, and kind encouragement, they have enabled the staff of the Digital Services Department of the Albert Small Special Collections Library to give the Cabell family a vigorous Internet presence.

There are pages devoted both to individual family members of the Cabell family and to their specific contributions to Virginia and United States history, as well as pages which provide background information on colonial and antebellum politics, frontier life, nineteenth-century religious practices, slavery, and other topics. Since the family’s historic connection with Charlottesville’s University of Virginia is so strong, and since the University houses a significant proportion of the family’s papers, there is a section devoted to the Cabells’ and the University.
