Sorry - I forgot to "reply to all" with the message below. Yes, we specifically create an interlibrary loan copy of each of these reels so they are available to a wider audience. These reels are available through the Library's interlibrary loan department. Please see the link at the bottom of the initial email for information on requesting reels. -----Original Message----- From: Discussion of research and writing about Virginia history <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Fri Jul 25 10:04:36 2008 Subject: Re: [VA-HIST] Library of Virginia Microfilm Duplication Project Are these records available online to folks like me out here in the hinterlands, or are they limited to 'walk-ins' in Richmond? Randy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Childs, Carl (LVA)" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2008 4:16 PM Subject: [VA-HIST] Library of Virginia Microfilm Duplication Project 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 11 reels (reels 172-182) of Rappahannock 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, Marriage Records and Vital Statistics, and Wills. In addition, we have added 50 reels of Richmond County microfilm (reels 171-220). These new reels contain records from the following major categories of local records: Court Records, Land Records, Marriage Records and Vital Statistics, Military and Pension Records, Board of Supervisor Records, and School Records. 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.
