 Description: THE momentum gained from the two preceding years' work in surveying and collecting historical materials in Virginia has been an appreciable factor in facilitating the progress during the year just completed. As prolonged economic distress has resulted in increasing demands upon research organizations and special and general libraries of all kinds, albeit with incomes drastically reduced, so the need for preserving the raw materials in manuscript and printed form is more generally recognized. While the specific task must rest upon the local agency, adapted to the peculiar conditions and problems of the region, it is encouraging to find the preservation of social science source materials advocated on a nation-wide scale by the American Library Association and to see quickened the perennial interest of the Public Archives Commission, under the direction of the American Historical Association, as evidenced by its report on the preservation of local archives.1 1.The Preservation of Local Archives. A Guide for Public Officials. Prepared by the Public Archives Commission [A. R. Newsome, Chairman] under the direction of the American Historical Association (Washington, D. C. 1932). "There is evidence," as one scholar observes, "that in America we have come to the end of an era, and it is desirable that the period that is closing be as completely documented as possible."2 2.A. F. Kuhlman in American Library Association, Bulletin vol. XXVII no. 3 (Mar. 1933), page 130.
