The Circuit Court Records Grants Review Board convenes twice each year to evaluate grant applications submitted by Virginia’s circuit court clerks and to award grant funds for processing, conserving, securing, and increasing access to circuit court records. The board is part of the Library of Virginia’s Circuit Court Records Preservation Program, which was established in 1991 to aid in preserving the records of the Commonwealth’s circuit courts. For further information on the program, please visit CCRP.
