West Virginia State Archives
library is in danger of being merged
with the lending library and
replaced with a cafe.  This would be
a tremendous loss to the state and
to the genealogy community.  The
proposed change was held at bay
during the last legislative session,
but will surely come up again.  Let
your elected officials know that we
don't want to lose our current state
archives library!!

Depositions Taken

Compromise Bill Proposed

State Legislature Gets Involved

Helpful Bills Introduced

West Union's Position Made Known


Tell your West Virginia State
Delegate and State Senator what
you think.

And then tell Governor Manchin
what you think.

The WV State Archives library is a
state treasure and should be left
alone.

Support HB 4126 and SB 328

Let your voice be heard.
