A lot of LVA and VHS images can be viewed on line - and then can be ordered as prints or electronic image files for publication etc. I've just done that in both instances for my current book project - I'm two hours from Richmond and living on the grounds at Henry's last home, Red Hill -- far from any kind of broadband or optic fiber links ... Try a search on a keyword or subject - in the case of LVA you can limit your search to images. In the case of VHS you search within the image and artifact collections rather than books and manuscripts. jk > Thanks, Jon for the suggestions.
