Is it possible to video these events so that those of us that don't live in Virginia can participate? I would gladly pay to attend by video.
I live in Texas and have a deep love for the LVA. I have been fortunate to have done research there several times. My husband has had to drag me out because of the hours and hours that I stay.

The Library of Virginia was founded by the General Assembly on Jan. 24, 1823, to organize, care for and manage the state's growing collection of books and official records, many of which date back to the early colonial period. Join us on this momentous anniversary date for a talk by historian and author Brent Tarter on the origins of the Library's book collections. A few books from the Library's earliest days will be on display and our new exhibition, 200 Years, 200 Stories, will be open for viewing.

Tarter is a retired historian and editor at the Library of Virginia, a founding editor of the Library's Dictionary of Virginia Biography project, the author of numerous journal articles on Virginia history and the author, co-author, editor or co-editor of 16 books, including, most recently, Virginians and Their Histories.
