<pre> Hello - the Library of Virginia has more than 30 separate bibliographic databases for our Digital Library Program, and many of those databases have images linked to each record via the 856 field. Each individual document or photograph image has a catalog record. Please see http://www.lva.lib.va.us/dlp - examples of these databases can be found under the Virginia History and Culture heading, such as the Colonial Records Project, WPA Life Histories, or 1939 World's Fair photograph collection.
