887. COUNTY RECORDS

Included in these voluminous records, in addition to wills, deeds, loose papers, etc., are documents such as free black certificates. A Records Management Manual for State and Local Government Agencies (Richmond: Virginia State Library, 1985) by William Grady Ray contains a good description of the records as well as a list of records by county available on microfilm in Appendix K, p. 77.
