I was surprised to learn that the Library of Virginia’s Local Records collection 
holds so many naturalization records. Prior to 1906 the naturalization process 
was the responsibility of the local and state courts. In this week’s Out of the 
Box blog entry Local Records Coordinator Greg Crawford writes about 
naturalization records available here at the LVA and provides some interesting 
examples of immigrants who became citizens.
The Library of Virginia will host a naturalization ceremony tomorrow from 11 
A.M. to noon. While you are here see The Land We Live In, The Land We Left 
exhibit as the LVA marks the immigrant experience past and present.
