Thanks to all u good present day Virginians for preserving the bits of history that help many of us distant descendants reconstructing our past!! Wish all areas could and would find some way to protect such info - have personally come across places elsewhere that still Have old stuff, but so unkempt cannot access!! - but there is also a problem of money, space and personnel remaining to be solved and in lots of places just rot away, such as an old 1823 Will I finally found original and no book entry of cases, but too deteriorated and became dust just lifting out of old courthouse nook. Solutions needed for problem in permanent info protection in most compacted yet durable ways for future. Hope experts can solve!! We're not into that but have heard rumbling in knowledgeable circles that even CD's will be superceded and eventually no means of reading! Meantime lets save what we can!
