Circuit Court Records Preservation Grant Program

Circuit Court Records Preservation Grant Program

The Circuit Court Records Preservation Program (CCRP) is a part of the Library of Virginia's Local Records Services Branch. Funded through a $3.50 of the clerk’s recordation fee, the CCRP provides resources to help preserve and make accessible permanent circuit court records.  The program awards grants to the commonwealth’s circuit court clerks to help them address the needs of the records housed in their localities. 

The CCRP also provides resources needed to process and house the circuit court records that are transferred to the State Archives for safekeeping and increased access; as well as track, duplicate and maintain circuit court microfilm stored in the Library’s media vault.  (Library of Virginia)
