The Library of Virginia is pleased to announce a new resource for
researchers interested in the 1999 Governor's Mansion renovation.  The
Sadler and Whitehead Papers (Accession 41826) contain both paper and
electronic records that document the extensive rehabilitation efforts on
the home of Virginia's chief executive.  Photography was heavily used to
record the discoveries made during demolition and reconstruction phases.
The information can be accessed via the Archives and Manuscripts catalog
from the What We Have section of the Library's website
http://www.lva.lib.va.us.  Search by the accession number (41826) for
the complete catalog record, which contains links to the EAD finding aid
and searchable database.
 
Users should read the EAD finding aid, catalog record, and web pages,
all of which explain the origin and arrangement of the collection.  The
"Information on Searching the Executive Mansion Rehabilitation Project
Database" link on the database search page explains the various types of
searches available and the results that they produce.  
 
If you have any questions about this new resource or suggestions on ways
to make it more useful, please feel free to contact Archives Research
Services at [log in to unmask] or at 804-692-3888.
