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 provides 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 reels

158-199 for Rockbridge County to the Library's reading room and 

interlibrary loan film collection. The new reels contain records from
the 

following major categories of local records: bonds, commissions, oaths, 

business records, court records, fiduciary records, marriage records, 

military records, 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.
