The following is a link to a page with information about former governor
Harry F. Byrd. It is a part of an online exhibition of political
leaders in Virginia, entitled "'A full vote, a free ballot, and a fair
count': Political Life in Virginia."
http://www.lva.lib.va.us/whoweare/exhibits/political/harry_byrd.htm
There are other references to Byrd, as well as many other important
figures in Virginia's political history, in a number of other exhibition
and educational web pages at the LVA's website. Additionally, the LVA
has a variety of resources on our website designed specifically for
teachers and students related to the history of Virginia, most of which
are based on primary documents within our collection. Those are located
at http://www.lva.lib.va.us/whatwedo/k12/index.htm. We are currently
developing additional content and lesson activities that will continue
to facilitate the use of material from our collections among educators
and students.
With a recently added feature, visitors to the LVA's homepage can now
conduct Google-powered searches of our web content to find out what
information and resources are available about topics in about which they
are interested.

Subject: [VA-HIST] Harry Flood Byrd, Sr.
Folks,
Harry Byrd is one of the Famous Virginians studied by students per the
SOLs.
I have a Famous Americans page for him at
http://www.educationalsynthesis.org/famamer/Byrd.html
Today I had reason to check that page, and clicked on the first link
below
the summary: http://www.state.va.us/home/vagov/byrd.html
and got a message that the page is gone. I wrote the customer service at
the
state, and after letting the respondent know that I was a retired
teacher
and wondered where the state gov site for "past governers" had gone,
she/he
checked out the source of the page, and said it originated at the
Library of
VA.
The second link on the page is to the Harry Byrd information on the LVA
page.
Does anyone know where the link went for past governors of Virginia. I
suspect that more of my pages than Harry Byrd will be affected,
including
links for Patrick Henry and others.
Where are students to go to find information on Virginia's past
governors?
Anne
