Greetings, For the last several years, The Library of Virginia (LVA) has been expanding its collection of county and city records on microfilm through an ambitious microfilm duplication project. This ongoing project seeks to provide access to additional locality records dated prior to 1900 and identified as having high-research value. These new reels are being duplicated from microfilm housed and preserved in the Library's security microfilm vault and are made available to the public in the LVA reading room and through its interlibrary loan program. The project is being completed in rough alphabetical order starting with the counties and then followed by the cities. At this time, we are pleased to announce the latest addition of 48 reels (reels 75-122) of Prince Edward County microfilm to the Library's reading room and interlibrary loan film collection. The new reels contain records from the following major categories of local records: court records, fiduciary records, land records, marriage records and vital statistics, school records, township records, and wills. Please see the Library's Guide to Virginia County and City Records on Microfilm http://www.lva.lib.va.us/whatwehave/local/local_rec/index.htm for a full listing of the Library's growing microfilm holdings. We will make further announcements as microfilm from other localities is added to the collection.
