Elizabeth and list, This is an absolutely marvelous
site and resource. It contains transcriptions of a number of documents
and, more uniquely, WPA reports on very many early Virginia homes, cemeteries,
etc., often with photographs. I strongly recommend anyone with early VA
ancestors check out this site and look for photos and descriptions of old
"family manses." Thank you so much, Elizabeth!
At first I couldn't understand how I had failed to
find this material given the number of times I've used the LibVa and especially
its digital library collection. Then I realized the only way I could find
to access it was the URL provided below. I couldn't see any way to get to
the material (the Virginia Historical Inventory) through the LVA home page
or the Digital Library page! Am I missing something, or is this collection
"under construction" and so not generally available? It made me wonder
what other goodies might be hiding at http://eagle.vsla.edu, but when I tried to back
into there I got a stern "FORBIDDEN" error notice (?).
One problem was that a number of times when I tried
to click on the image icon I got a "page not found" message. Another minor
one was it was often difficult to print the tiff images without cutting off the
side and bottom of the page. The only way I found to do this was to use
the select tool to select the typewritten image, then paste this into a Word
document. This works but can get somewhat tedious. Is there an
easier way? Again, thanks for this great resource. Polly
