Virginia Room
Welcome to the Virginia Room!
Welcome to the Virginia Room, Roanoke Public Libraries' collection of historical and genealogical research resources. A non-circulation research library, we comprehensively collect materials for the Commonwealth of Virginia and the Roanoke Valley. This includes items relating to the entire state, and to a lesser degree, those states that are closely tied to Virginia and its people by birth, immigration, migration or by boundary divisions.
