Fellow VA-Hist list subscribers:

Late last night I posted 
http://www.holstonia.net/files/HolstoniaBibliographyV102.pdf on line.

This pdf file titled "The Holstonia Bibliography" is a revised, second 
version of the document first posted at the same web site about three 
months ago.

The bibliography contains many clickable links to on line locations 
where readers may view and examine many primary documents of 
colonial-period Virginia history. The bibliography's focus is on the 
western part of Virginia, but many of the linked documents are statewide 
in character and will likely be of value to anyone interested in the 
colonial period and especially to persons without convenient access to 
big university library data bases. Examples of linked documents include: 
almost all of Hening's Statues, seventeen volumes of the VMHB, The 
Official Records of Robert Dinwiddie (two volumes), all the volumes of 
the Virginia Historical Register, almost all of the volumes of the 
Virginia Calendar of State Papers, etc.

In the revision, a preliminary regional genealogy section has been added.

The document includes a glossary, hints about the use of pdf files, a 
list of historians' abbreviations, and commentary on a number of 
bibliographic issues.

I will welcome criticisms, complaints, comments, and questions about 
this document. Suggestions of sources to be included will be 
particularly well-received and probably incorporated into the 
forthcoming Version 1.03. Thanks in advance.

Off list reply correspondence will be gladly received.
