You may have already noticed this but there is a “scanning in progress” section on the main Chancery Records Index page towards the bottom left. That will give you some idea of what is being scanned now.

Many thanks for your email inquiring about the status of the Spotsylvania County chancery causes. Since Joanne Porter’s post, those records have been fully processed and indexed by our archivists and a number of fragile documents are now awaiting conservation work in our in-house lab. When the conservation process is complete, the index will be loaded on the Chancery Records Index page (link below) for researchers to consult. Since we currently have a backlog of localities awaiting digitization, we expect to open the original Spotsylvania records to research in the manuscript room at the Library of Virginia. As the chancery collections currently being scanned are completed, we will slot Spotsylvania in line for scanning as soon as possible.

Have been anxiously awaiting word that the Spotsylvania County Chancery Cases have been digitized. Can you give me a progress report?
