Through an interactive timeline, digital archive, and collaboration with UMW Special Collections, this project documents how Devil-Goat Day has evolved across one-hundred years with ten entries per decade. This collection will comprise Devil-Goat Day promotional media, memorabilia, and photographs. Sources will be pulled from Special Ccollections digital and physical catalogue, Facebook groups such as alumni and the Fredericksburg history community, and the Library&#8217;s extensive newspaper archive. UMW Outreach will be achieved via social media, flyers, and promotional QR codes scattered across campus and downtown Fredericksburg. Our goal is to make the history of Devil-Goat Day accessible, engaging, and meaningful for a wide audience, including the UMW community, extending to the broader Fredericksburg community. By combining historical materials, research, and multimedia storytelling, we aim to create a dynamic resource that celebrates the past while inviting ongoing participation in the tradition\u2019s future.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tools planning on using:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span
