This book indexes and annotates more than 1,500 marriage records collections on microfilm, photostat, and in printed form currently in the Virginia State Library at Richmond. It also notes how to secure the assistance of archival staff in answering specific questions on your genealogy, and how to borrow original microfilm copies by interlibrary loan. A new format has been adopted for the second edition which includes a listing of all original manuscript and photostat materials held by the archives, as well as the microfilm and published holdings which were in the first edition. At least two hundred titles acquired by the library in the past five years have been added to the listing, as well as a summary of published materials for the West Virginia counties. Finally, a full and thorough treatment of each county's origins and boundary changes has been included.
