The Library of Virginia (LVA) is pleased to announce the completion of two more digital scanning projects. The processing, indexing, and digital reformatting of the Prince Edward County and Portsmouth City chancery causes is now complete.
The images have been added to the existing index on the recently redesigned Chancery Records Index <http://www.virginiamemory.com/collections/chancery/> (CRI) on Virginia Memory <http://www.virginiamemory.com/>.
The Prince Edward County chancery images date between 1856 and 1913 (additional pre-1856 are currently being processed and will be added at a later date). The Portsmouth materials cover the years 1859 through 1932. These localities join twenty-eight counties and cities whose chancery causes have been digitally reformatted and made available through the Library’s innovative Circuit Court Records Preservation Program, which seeks to preserve the historic records of Virginia’s Circuit Courts.
