&#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>

&#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>The first series in the Madison County SNP Records collection consists of 363 files related to the court proceedings from The State Commission on Conservation and Development of the State of Virginia v. D.F. Anderson and Others, and Fifty-Five Thousand Acres of Land, More or Less, in Madison County, Virginia. This was a court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire privately held land located within the boundary of Madison County in the northern Blue Ridge Mountains. Within the boundaries of eight counties, the state of Virginia, in collaboration with the Federal government, used eminent domain 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 to create the Shenandoah National Park. The documents in this collection are the legal proceedings for each individual tract of land that made up the one court case. In most cases, the individual case files consist of property surveys, assessments for the value of the land and improvements, and claims by the owner of the property.</text>

This was a court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire privately held land located within the boundary of Madison County in the northern Blue Ridge Mountains. Within the boundaries of eight counties, the state of Virginia, in collaboration with the Federal government, used eminent domain 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 to create the Shenandoah National Park. The documents in this collection are the legal proceedings for each individual tract of land that made up the one court case. In most cases, the individual case files consist of property surveys, assessments for the value of the land and improvements, and claims by the owner of the property.</text>

                  <text>The first series in the Madison County SNP Records collection consists of 363 files related to the court proceedings from The State Commission on Conservation and Development of the State of Virginia v. D.F. Anderson and Others, and Fifty-Five Thousand Acres of Land, More or Less, in Madison County, Virginia. This was a court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire privately held land located within the boundary of Madison County in the northern Blue Ridge Mountains. Within the boundaries of eight counties, the state of Virginia, in collaboration with the Federal government, used eminent domain 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 to create the Shenandoah National Park. The documents in this collection are the legal proceedings for each individual tract of land that made up the one court case. In most cases, the individual case files consist of property surveys, assessments for the value of the land and improvements, and claims by the owner of the property.</text>

                  <text>The first series in the Rappahannock County SNP Records collection consists of 350 files related to the court proceedings from The State Commission on Conservation and Development of the State of Virginia v. Clifton Aylor and others, and Thirty-Seven Thousand Four Hundred (37,400) Acres of Land, more or less, in Rappahannock County, Virginia. This was a court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire privately held land located within the boundary of Rappahannock County in the northern Blue Ridge Mountains. Within the boundaries of eight counties, the state of Virginia, in collaboration with the Federal government, used eminent domain 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 to create the Shenandoah National Park. The documents in this collection are the legal proceedings for each individual tract of land that made up the one court case. In most cases, the individual case files consist of property surveys, assessments for the value of the land and improvements, and claims by the owner of the property.</text>

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.

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.

                  <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.
