Greetings,

For the last several years, The Library of Virginia (LVA) has been
expanding its collection of county and city records on microfilm through
an ambitious microfilm duplication project. 

This ongoing project seeks to provide access to additional locality
records dated prior to 1900 and identified as having high-research
value. These new reels are being duplicated from microfilm housed and
preserved in the Library's security microfilm vault and are made
available to the public in the LVA reading room and through its
interlibrary loan program. The project is being completed in rough
alphabetical order starting with the counties and then followed by the
cities. 

At this time, we are pleased to announce the latest addition of 48 reels
(reels 75-122) of Prince Edward County microfilm to the Library's
reading room and interlibrary loan film collection. The new reels
contain records from the following major categories of local records:
court records, fiduciary records, land records, marriage records and
vital statistics, school records, township records, and wills. 

Please see the Library's Guide to Virginia County and City Records on
Microfilm http://www.lva.lib.va.us/whatwehave/local/local_rec/index.htm
for a full listing of the Library's growing microfilm holdings. We will
make further announcements as microfilm from other localities is added
to the collection.
