Library of Virginia
Library of Virginia in Richmond, Virginia is the library agency of the Commonwealth of Virginia, its archival agency, and the reference library at the seat of government. The Library moved into a new building in 1997, and is located 2 blocks from the Virginia State Capitol building.
The Library of Virginia was created by the Virginia General Assembly in 1823 to organize, care for, and manage the state's growing collection of books and official records, many of which date back to the early colonial period. It houses what is believed to be the most comprehensive collection of materials on Virginia government, history, and culture available anywhere.
