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 Zashin
