that they do not understand the purpose of this discussion list. First,

The Library of Virginia has not made available on-line the many records it has available for family research, such as county court records (wills, deeds, etc.) Nor has it made available on-line the original sources by which proof of military service can be obtained. There are private sites, especially the http://www.usgenweb.com that have made some of these records available. The Library of Virginia has made available for on-line research a number of finding aids to original records. Once you locate a name in which you are interested in these finding aids, you must contact either LVA or a professional researcher who is willing to undertake work for you in order to obtain a copy. The Library of Virginia has placed on-line certain records in two often-requested record area: patents and grants from the Land Office and Bible Records. You can search the finding aid for these records and then the original record itself. I strongly encourage our subscribers to look at the LVA home page at http://www.vsla.edu and follow the many links there. You will find hours of work and many new sites.
We are approaching a holiday weekend. I will be checking e-mail several
times each day but if I do not respond to a question immediately, please be
patient. If you are having problems with your subscription, we will try to
assist you.

The Virginia Historical Society takes pleasure in announcing the opening of its online library catalog. As of July 1, the online public access catalog is available in the Society's reading room and on the Internet via the Society's webpage: http://www.vahistorical.org (select "Collections" and then go to the bottom of the screen for the catalog). While the online catalog is definitely a "work under construction," researchers may use it to access records of all printed books and serials in the Society's collections, along with about 6,200 records of manuscript collections. Future searchable components of the catalog will include records of maps, newspapers, photographs, and portraiture. (A photographs index is currently accessible from the online catalog or directly through the Society's web page.)
A number of persons and agencies have supported the Society's automation
efforts, including Mr. Alan M. Voorhees, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the

BRIEF HISTORY OF "THE COLLEDGE"
The reference to "The Colledge" refers to
the land in Henrico County (now in Chesterfield County) which was set aside by
the London Company for the building of "a colledge
to educate Indians," which plan included enough land for farming that the
college could be self-sufficient.This land was at or
near the town of Henrico, sometimes called "Henricopolis"
which was begun by Sir Thomas Dale around September, 1611. Sir George Yeardley arrived in the colony in April 1619, bringing
instructions to form a government with a representative assembly. The colony
was divided into "four cities or boroughs namely the chief city called
James Town,
Gov. Yeardley called for elections in each of the eleven
settlements. Two delegates were to be elected from each settlement to form a house of Burgesses. On July 30, 1619, the first
representative assembly met in the church at
By the end of the summer of 1622, the "replanting" of Henrico and
"the Colledg lands" was considered a
necessity, and the governing council asked the London Company to send
additional tenants to be settled on the company's land and that orchards and
gardens be planted on the college land. Resettlement
was not successful, the king brought suit against the London Company. On May
24, 1624, the suit was settled, the Company dissolved, and
