Vision Principle: Pride of Past, Promise of Future. Background: . This is a request for funding conversion of 46 chancery order books and 8 microfilm chancery order books. The chancery records date from July 1975 to August 1999. The images are to be available via Secure Remote Access (Logan System) with access limited to the staff of Portsmouth Circuit Court Clerk's Office. Public view stations and hard copies of the records and indexes would provide the general public access to the records. . This project would provide a consolidated index of all chancery cases from 1975 to 1999. This time period does not have a consolidated index. The current index books do not have all of the cases and the indexes do not refer to book and page for the Chancery Order Books. The indexes refer to a case number that is no longer used. . This project would allow the records to be indexed into a computerized relational database. The staff would be able to search the database by party name, case number, business name or book and page. Once the index entry is found, the image will be available in the system. . A microfilm copy of the indexes would be provided to the Library of Virginia.
