The next program in the Virginia Heritage Resource Center's Mining the Treasure House lecture series will take place at noon on Wednesday, 12 November, 2003, in the conference rooms adjacent to the lobby at the Library of Virginia at 800 East Broad Street in downtown Richmond. The speaker will be Roger Christman, State Records Archivist at the Library of Virginia. The title of his talk is "Saving Private Aaron through Zyvith: Virginia's World War II Separation Notices." The Library of Virginia holds some quarter million separation notices of service men and women who indicated their intention to seek employment in Virginia. Due to a 1973 fire in St. Louis, MO, these are in many cases the only surviving copies of these records. Roger has spent several years arranging this collection. Individual notices will be open at no charge to surviving veterans or their next of kin beginning November 12, upon submission of a signed application form. These forms will be available on the Library's web page as of that date. There is free underground parking for Library patrons.
