Digitization of St. John's Parish Records
St. John's Vestry records, essential sources for the parish's history, run from 1730 to the present. Organized by monthly or yearly meetings, these records reveal the evolution of the congregation and the city. Recently our vestry, aided by our church archives and Foundation teams, helped the Library of Virginia digitize vestry records dating from 1730 through 1900. These records can now be viewed online for free at the Library of Virginia's website.
Additionally, the Library of Virginia will add our vestry records to their transcription program to make the handwritten records more legible and electronically searchable. Find more information about the transcription program here.
