Subject: Fwd: New Resources from Library of Virginia
Hi all -
I'm forwarding the message below for those of you who have an
interest in Virginia. If you haven't yet visited the Library of
Virginia online, make sure you do today. They have a tremendous
site with many online images of documents.
Good luck,
Cyndi

This resource no longer requires a tiff image viewer and contains
many listings from the post-1865 period.
