CHSV Research Library

You have an opportunity for assistance with your research on people, places, and events in Chesterfield County history.  As the birthplace of the second permanent English settlement in the New World with the first hospital, coal mines, ironworks, tobacco farming, and many   other significant events, we have a history we are proud to share!  We are only able to conduct research on Chesterfield County history and residents.  

Please note that there is a minimum charge of $25.00 per research request.   For genealogy requests, see "Genealogy".  Copies and postage are extra. Upon evaluation of your request, you will be contacted to discuss the request and anticipated charge. If your old Bible has Chesterfield connections, please consider making photocopies and contributing to the family history resources of the Chesterfield Historical Society of Virginia's Library.

The need is great for researchers in the library. See More
