The Virginia Circuit Court Preservation Program (CCRP) is celebrating its
20th anniversary this year. Part of the Library of Virginia's Local Records
Services branch, the program was created in 1992 to address the
preservation needs of some of the most important records in the state - the records
of Virginia's 120 circuit courts. The CCRP continues to not only preserve, d
igitize, and microfilm historic records from around the commonwealth but
also to reach out to circuit court clerks in each locality, offering them
consultative services and financial assistance through its grant program.
Since its creation twenty years ago, the program has awarded over 1100 grants,
totaling nearly $16 million, to Virginia circuit court clerks to help
address the preservation needs of records stored in their localities.
Twenty years later, access to Virginia's historic court records has never
been wider with more than 7 million digital chancery court images from
fifty-seven counties and cities now available online through the Chancery
Records Index (CRI), created to increase access to Virginia's historic equity
cases. In celebration of this important milestone, we've created this video
celebrating the twenty year history of this innovative program that has
helped ensure the preservation and accessibility of records that are a treasure
trove of state and local history.
