Library of Virginia Archives Research Services In response to the increasing volume of genealogical requests received annually, the Library of Virginia now requires completion of the Genealogical Research Request Form with each request for information. The research service provided by the Archives staff includes a search for ONE PERSON in ONE RECORD from specific indexed materials. Please be aware that a search may not locate the information that you seek. If extended, in-depth research is required, a list of professional researchers familiar with our holdings will be furnished. PLEASE NOTE: The Archives staff does not conduct genealogical research. Out-of-state residents must include a $20.00 nonrefundable service fee with each request form. For this fee you will receive one of the following: 1) up to 10 photocopies, or 2) up to 3 photoprints from microfilm with a citation of the source. If copies of the complete document exceed 10 photocopies or 3 photoprints, a statement for additional copying costs will be sent before the order is processed. Virginia residents are exempt from the fee, but will be charged for copies at a discount. An invoice will be mailed to you with the results of your request. PLEASE NOTE: We reserve the right not to copy materials that might be damaged by photocopying. The Following Records Cannot Be Researched by Mail Births, Deaths and Marriages: There was no systematic recording of birth and death records in Virginia until 1853, and such records were not maintained by the state government between 1896 and 1912.
