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.
