The next program in the Virginia Heritage Resource Center's Mining the
Treasure House lecture series will take place at noon on Wednesday, 12
November, 2003, in the conference rooms adjacent to the lobby at the
Library of Virginia at 800 East Broad Street in downtown Richmond.
 
The speaker will be Roger Christman, State Records Archivist at the
Library of Virginia. The title of his talk is "Saving Private Aaron
through Zyvith: Virginia's World War II Separation Notices." The Library
of Virginia holds some quarter million separation notices of service men
and women who indicated their intention to seek employment in Virginia.
Due to a 1973 fire in St. Louis, MO, these are in many cases the only
surviving copies of these records. Roger has spent several years
arranging this collection. Individual notices will be open at no charge
to surviving veterans or their next of kin beginning November 12, upon
submission of a signed application form. These forms will be available
on the Library's web page as of that date.
 
There is free underground parking for Library patrons. For more
information on this and other programs and services of the Library of
Virginia please visit the Library's web site at http://lva.lib.va.us or
