Where do you find Record Group 3 and is it available on-line?

Regarding Caroline County militia lists:
Among the militia commission papers in Record Group 3 in the
Library of Virginia are names of officers nominated by county
courts for militia appointments. These records are arranged by
county, and thereunder chronologically, roughly from 1792/3 to
the Civil War period, and perhaps beyond, not sure how late it
contains recommendations. These names would list officers, and
not enlisted ranks. The records are now being currently
microfilmed and not available for use until completion.
Occasionally, one finds a muster roll of men who volunteered for
units, and some of these might be among the names in the Caroline
County recommendations, but these are not all that frequent.
