Because of the upcoming Jamestown 2007 quadricentennial, the Virginia Heritage Project Task Force Force of the Virtual Library of Virginia (VIVA) asked Colonial National Historical Park if it would be possible to make the Jamestown Bibliography, Jamestown Archaeological Assessment 1992-1996, available on the Web. During 2003- 2004, the Virginia Heritage Project Task surveyed manuscript holdings at Virginia’s archival and manuscript repositories for materials related to the Jamestown experience. These additions have been added in the appropriate sections of the Jamestown Bibliography and are not preceded by an entry number. For additional information on these holdings, contact the appropriate repository. Repository contact information is available from the VIVA Special Collections web page http://spec.lib.vt.edu/viva/links.html The National Park Service provided information on additional archeological studies completed since the original version of the bibliography, and those entries were added.
