Excerpt from The British Public Record Office: History, Description, Record Groups, Finding Aids, and Materials for American History, With Special Reference to Virginia; Special Reports 25, 26, 27, and 28 of the Virginia Colonial Records Project Seasoned researchers in England will read with nostalgia the accounts of the British Public Record Office and the description of the groups and classes of the manuscripts relating to American colonial history with special reference to Virginia. Those fortunate scholars who for the first time are to do research in British records will find the accounts a most useful introduction to the Public Record Office. The four papers have been prepared as Special Reports for the Virginia Colonial Records Project. It is fitting that the oldest colony of the old British Empire should now make available to scholars everywhere these interesting and com prehensive papers. Although the emphasis is on Virginia material, the same groups and classes discussed should con tain records of the other original colonies. The material was prepared by competent English scholars under the direction of Dr. George H. Reese, the agent for the Virginia Colonial Records Committee. Dr. Neville Wil liams of the Public Record Office is the author of Special Reports No. 25 and No. 28. It is believed that the four reports will assist those American scholars who intend to do research in the British Public Record Office. Special Report No. 25 presents a brief historical Sketch and description of the Public Record Office. The author presents a number of valuable suggestions which should assist the scholar in beginning his research. The changes in the administration under the Public Records Act of 1958 are noted, and matters such as copyright and photographic services are discussed.
