It highlights continuous professional training via the proceedings of the Local Government Officials’ Conferences held at the University of Virginia. Additionally, the collection documents legislative tracking through various General Assembly bill summaries, summaries of the Acts of Assembly of interest to clerks, and government relations contracts. Commemorative files comprise resolutions of respect and memorials for deceased clerks, retirement proclamations, and materials from the association's 50th and 100th anniversary milestones.</text>

&#13;
The collection comprises administrative papers including the association's constitution, by-laws, committee lists, directories, and presidential speeches; extensive financial records such as membership dues ledgers, checkbooks, receipts, invoices, and treasurer’s reports; and educational and procedural guides detailing uniform clerk fees, local court practices, and equity procedures. It highlights continuous professional training via the proceedings of the Local Government Officials’ Conferences held at the University of Virginia. Additionally, the collection documents legislative tracking through various General Assembly bill summaries, summaries of the Acts of Assembly of interest to clerks, and government relations contracts. Commemorative files comprise resolutions of respect and memorials for deceased clerks, retirement proclamations, and materials from the association's 50th and 100th anniversary milestones.</text>

Commemorative files comprise resolutions of respect and memorials for deceased clerks, retirement proclamations, and materials from the association's 50th and 100th anniversary milestones.</text>

&#13;
The collection comprises administrative papers including the association's constitution, by-laws, committee lists, directories, and presidential speeches; extensive financial records such as membership dues ledgers, checkbooks, receipts, invoices, and treasurer’s reports; and educational and procedural guides detailing uniform clerk fees, local court practices, and equity procedures. It highlights continuous professional training via the proceedings of the Local Government Officials’ Conferences held at the University of Virginia. Additionally, the collection documents legislative tracking through various General Assembly bill summaries, summaries of the Acts of Assembly of interest to clerks, and government relations contracts. Commemorative files comprise resolutions of respect and memorials for deceased clerks, retirement proclamations, and materials from the association's 50th and 100th anniversary milestones.</text>

                  <text>Administrative, financial, historical, and instructional materials documenting the operations, professional development, and legislative tracking of the Virginia Court Clerks' Association (VCCA) from 1910 through the early 2020s. &#13;
&#13;
The collection comprises administrative papers including the association's constitution, by-laws, committee lists, directories, and presidential speeches; extensive financial records such as membership dues ledgers, checkbooks, receipts, invoices, and treasurer’s reports; and educational and procedural guides detailing uniform clerk fees, local court practices, and equity procedures. It highlights continuous professional training via the proceedings of the Local Government Officials’ Conferences held at the University of Virginia. Additionally, the collection documents legislative tracking through various General Assembly bill summaries, summaries of the Acts of Assembly of interest to clerks, and government relations contracts. Commemorative files comprise resolutions of respect and memorials for deceased clerks, retirement proclamations, and materials from the association's 50th and 100th anniversary milestones.</text>

&#13;
The collection comprises administrative papers including the association's constitution, by-laws, committee lists, directories, and presidential speeches; extensive financial records such as membership dues ledgers, checkbooks, receipts, invoices, and treasurer’s reports; and educational and procedural guides detailing uniform clerk fees, local court practices, and equity procedures. It highlights continuous professional training via the proceedings of the Local Government Officials’ Conferences held at the University of Virginia. Additionally, the collection documents legislative tracking through various General Assembly bill summaries, summaries of the Acts of Assembly of interest to clerks, and government relations contracts. Commemorative files comprise resolutions of respect and memorials for deceased clerks, retirement proclamations, and materials from the association's 50th and 100th anniversary milestones.</text>

&#13;
The collection comprises administrative papers including the association's constitution, by-laws, committee lists, directories, and presidential speeches; extensive financial records such as membership dues ledgers, checkbooks, receipts, invoices, and treasurer’s reports; and educational and procedural guides detailing uniform clerk fees, local court practices, and equity procedures. It highlights continuous professional training via the proceedings of the Local Government Officials’ Conferences held at the University of Virginia. Additionally, the collection documents legislative tracking through various General Assembly bill summaries, summaries of the Acts of Assembly of interest to clerks, and government relations contracts. Commemorative files comprise resolutions of respect and memorials for deceased clerks, retirement proclamations, and materials from the association's 50th and 100th anniversary milestones.</text>

                  <text>Administrative, financial, historical, and instructional materials documenting the operations, professional development, and legislative tracking of the Virginia Court Clerks' Association (VCCA) from 1910 through the early 2020s. &#13;
&#13;
The collection comprises administrative papers including the association's constitution, by-laws, committee lists, directories, and presidential speeches; extensive financial records such as membership dues ledgers, checkbooks, receipts, invoices, and treasurer’s reports; and educational and procedural guides detailing uniform clerk fees, local court practices, and equity procedures. It highlights continuous professional training via the proceedings of the Local Government Officials’ Conferences held at the University of Virginia. Additionally, the collection documents legislative tracking through various General Assembly bill summaries, summaries of the Acts of Assembly of interest to clerks, and government relations contracts. Commemorative files comprise resolutions of respect and memorials for deceased clerks, retirement proclamations, and materials from the association's 50th and 100th anniversary milestones.</text>

The collection comprises administrative papers including the association's constitution, by-laws, committee lists, directories, and presidential speeches; extensive financial records such as membership dues ledgers, checkbooks, receipts, invoices, and treasurer’s reports; and educational and procedural guides detailing uniform clerk fees, local court practices, and equity procedures. It highlights continuous professional training via the proceedings of the Local Government Officials’ Conferences held at the University of Virginia. Additionally, the collection documents legislative tracking through various General Assembly bill summaries, summaries of the Acts of Assembly of interest to clerks, and government relations contracts. Commemorative files comprise resolutions of respect and memorials for deceased clerks, retirement proclamations, and materials from the association's 50th and 100th anniversary milestones.</text>

�REPORT ON THE ACREAGE
of the
T. L. YANCEY TRACT #213- a .

'1.-rhe deed to Mr . Ya ncey for this trac t
contains only a very general description without
bearings or distances , but calls for 120 acres .
I therefore made a field survey of this tract,
running all of the lines except t he west boundary .
This west boundary was determined by calls of the
Burke and Coleman tracts, for which the deeds
cont a i n surveys .
n

computation of the area by the calls

of my survey and the lines common to the Burke
~nd Coleman tra cts gives 111 acres .

�The basic differen ces between Petition er and this exceptan t

values .
Although we believe the values reported by the Petition er's

Apprais al Commiss ioners as to values are substan tially too high, we
have accepted and will not seek a lower valuatio n than their findings as shown on the above tables in this case .
As to the classifi cation of the land and the other elements
of value we submit that these matters are correctl y set forth in
the Work Sheet of the Board with referenc e to this c aae, and not as
set forth in exceptan t 1 s statemen ts .

The documents within the collection almost entirely refer to land located within Rockingham County, but other counties within the park’s scope followed a similar process to acquire the land. The documents are broken up into three categories: Deed Books, Miscellaneous Documents, and Condemnation Cases.

                  <text>The first series of &lt;span&gt;the SNP Records collection consists of 4,756 documents related to The State Commission on Conservation and Development of the State of Virginia v. Cassandra Lawson Atkins and others, and Fifty-Two Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty-One (52,561) Acres of Land, more or less in Rockingham County, Virginia, court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire 52,561 acres of privately held land located within the northern Blue Ridge Mountains.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; The Virginia government in collaboration with the federal government, used condemnation, a process that involves the seizure of an individual's private property for public use, without the owner’s consent, but with payment of compensation, and more formally known as “eminent domain,” to create the Shenandoah National Park. The documents within the collection almost entirely refer to land located within Rockingham County, but other counties within the park’s scope followed a similar process to acquire the land. The documents are broken up into three categories: Deed Books, Miscellaneous Documents, and Condemnation Cases. This collection contains the Condemnation Cases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information on the Rockingham County Shenandoah National Park collection, visit the "&lt;a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids"&gt;Finding Aids&lt;/a&gt;" tab in the menu above.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&lt;span&gt;n the 1970s and 1980s many of the individuals displaced by the park creation were interviewed in hopes of preserving their stories.

Cassandra Lawson Atkins and others, and Fifty-Two Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty-One (52,561) Acres of Land, more or less in Rockingham County, Virginia, court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire 52,561 acres of privately held land located within the northern Blue Ridge Mountains.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; The Virginia government in collaboration with the federal government, used condemnation, a process that involves the seizure of an individual's private property for public use, without the owner’s consent, but with payment of compensation, and more formally known as “eminent domain,” to create the Shenandoah National Park. The documents within the collection almost entirely refer to land located within Rockingham County, but other counties within the park’s scope followed a similar process to acquire the land. The documents are broken up into three categories: Deed Books, Miscellaneous Documents, and Condemnation Cases. This collection contains the Condemnation Cases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information on the Rockingham County Shenandoah National Park collection, visit the "&lt;a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids"&gt;Finding Aids&lt;/a&gt;" tab in the menu above.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&lt;span&gt;n the 1970s and 1980s many of the individuals displaced by the park creation were interviewed in hopes of preserving their stories.
