I need some advice from the list.  In 1990, the Virginia State Library
and Archives (its title at that time) published A Key to Survey Reports
and Microfilm of the Virginia Colonial Records Project, in two volumes.
It is a tabulation of British record groups and series, with cross
references to Survey Report numbers and the microfilm reels they appear
on.

Now that the Virginia Colonial Records Project index has been put on the
Library of Virginia's website, it looks to me as if every piece of
information in the books is now online and searchable:  The repository
reference, the old and new Survey Report numbers, and the microfilm reel
number, in addition to any subject tracings related to each reference.
In light of that, is there any good reason to retain the bound volumes
in our collection?
