Greetings,
In addition to all the recent digital chancery project announcements,
the Library of Virginia also has new microfilm holdings to announce!
For the last several years, The Library of Virginia 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 additions to the
Library's reading room and interlibrary loan film collection: 13 reels
(reels 677-690) of Rockingham County microfilm from the major categories
of Court Records, Land Records, Marriage Records and Vital Statistics,
and School Records; 22 reels (reels 58-80) of Russell County microfilm
from the major categories of Court Records, Land Records, Marriage
Records and Vital Statistics; 23 reels (84-107) of Scott County
microfilm from the major categories of Business Records,
Bonds,Commissions, Oaths, Court Records, Land Records, and Wills; 35
reels (reels 287-322) of Smyth County microfilm from the following major
categories of Land Records and Marriage Records and Vital Statistics.
Please see the Library's Guide to Virginia County and City Records on

full listing of the Library's growing microfilm holdings. We will make
further announcements as microfilm from other localities is added to the
collection.
