manuscript,
> microfilm, selected photograph and other research collections, such as
> the Shirley Plantation Collection of over 18,000 manuscript items.

> "We have electronically opened the doors to our major collections

> Web," says Public Services Librarian Juleigh Clark. "Now, when
> researchers come to the Library, they will have a better idea of what we
> own, and we can serve them more efficiently." Other features on the
> website include a virtual exhibit of some of the treasures from the
> Rockefeller Library's rare book and manuscript collections and special
> indexes to articles in The Colonial Williamsburg Journal and The
Colonial
> Williamsburg Interpreter. Of special interest is an index to the
several
> hundred research reports written at Colonial Williamsburg over the last
> sixty years. Early American History Research Reports are distinguished
> for the significant amount of primary source material in them and for
their
> time and place specificity: eighteenth-century Virginia.
>
> The John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Library is a research library
> specializing in the history and culture of the colonial Chesapeake. It
> is located near the Historic Area at 313 First Street and is open to
> the public. Library hours are Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5
