The latest images from the Petersburg chancery causes digitization
project are now available on the Chancery Records Index.
<blocked::http://www.virginiamemory.com/collections/chancery/>  The
scanning project is funded by the Circuit Court Records Preservation
Program along with a $155,071 grant from the National Endowment for the
Humanities (NEH). Chancery causes for Petersburg can now be viewed
online through 1888. This latest batch of images features an 1850
dispute between the mule and gravity powered Chesterfield Railroad
Company and the steam powered Richmond & Danville Railroad Company over
access to the Manchester coal yards on the James River in Richmond.
