It is always wonderful to learn about long-standing programs that help preserve records. Did you know that since 1992, the Library of Virginia and Circuit Court Clerks, have had a partnership to preserve circuit court records.
Circuit Court Records Preservation Program
The Circuit
Court Records Preservation Program (CCRP) is a part of the Library of
Virginia's Local Records Services Branch. Funded through a $1.50 of the clerk’s
recordation fee, the CCRP provides resources to help preserve and make
accessible permanent circuit court records.
The program awards grants to the commonwealth’s circuit court clerks to
help them address the needs of the records housed in their localities.
The CCRP
also provides resources needed to process and house the circuit court records
that are transferred to the State Archives for safekeeping and increased
access; as well as track, duplicate and maintain circuit court microfilm stored
in the Library’s media vault.
Do watch the video (lower right on the previously mentioned page -- it runs about 13 minutes) to learn more about this collaboration.
