Since the Lib. of VA had to let people go, cut back hours (later some
restored) and cut back on some services since the State of VA has cut back
their funds, I don't think there would ever be an amount we, as
individuals, could contribute to put their massive holdings on line.  What
they have been able to do is remarkable, especially considering what is
available from archives of other states.

Besides, it is a great excuse to visit a remarkable library and other
wonderful resources in VA.

conceive some future plan whereby many of us could pay a modest amount
regularly for such access to a greater number of records.  Paul
