Over the past 14 years, the Rockingham Circuit Court Clerk’s office has identified and conserved or preserved records that were securely tucked away. A unique collaboration with JMU’s History and Library departments has given students hands-on public history experience and created a digital archive for public research.
Digital collections now available include court records from prohibition, overseers of the poor, historic criminal cases, and the creation of Shenandoah National Park.
Haywood will also discuss other resources that can be found in the Clerk’s office and online during this Third Thursday Talk event. Registration required.
