VGS: Barbara’s Book Club – January Discussion [21 Jan 2026]

Join us for the first meeting of Barbara’s Book Club, a new discussion series exploring Barbara Vines Little’s A Researcher’s Guide to Virginia’s Historical Records. This month’s session, led by Kelley Conner Lear, CG®, will focus on Chapters 1 and 2, which examine Virginia’s geography and transportation and the impact of record availability at the colony, state, and local levels.

Whether you are new to Virginia research or looking to deepen your understanding of the historical context behind its record systems, this informal discussion offers an opportunity to learn from fellow researchers and share insights about navigating the complexities of Virginia’s past. All that’s required is your copy of the book, your questions, and your curiosity!
