The Board of Agriculture was established by the General Assembly on March 5, 1888, to manage the department. The name of the department was changed to the Department of Agriculture and Immigration by an act passed on February 25, 1908, and the agency was given the additional mission of promoting the immigration of farmers into the state. On March 27, 1914, the General Assembly made the commissioner of the department a member of the Convict Lime Grinding Board. This board, which supervised the employment of state penitentiary convicts at state lime grinding plants, was abolished by the state government reorganization act passed by the General Assembly on April 18, 1927, and its duties were transferred to the Board of Agriculture and Immigration.","A major shift in focus occurred when, in a statewide referendum held on November 1, 1966, the voters approved a proposed constitutional amendment passed by the General Assembly on March 11 that changed the name of the department to the Department of Agriculture and Commerce. The governor issued a proclamation of the name change on November 30, 1966, and on March 4, 1971, the General Assembly passed an act codifying the change. The name of the department was changed to the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services by an act passed by the General Assembly on March 24, 1978.","The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) promotes the economic growth and development of Virginia agriculture, provides consumer protection and encourages environmental stewardship.  The agency includes divisions for Animal and Food Industry Services (Dairy and Foods, Hemp Enforcement, Laboratory Services, Meat and Poultry, Veterinary Services), Commodity Services (Fruit and Vegetables, Grain, Livestock, Peanut, Poultry and Eggs), Consumer Protection (Charitable and Regulatory Programs, Pesticide Services, Plant Industry Services, Weight and Measures), and Marketing (Agriculture and Forestry Development, Domestic Promotion, Food Distribution, International, Market News), and also includes the State Milk Commission and a department dedicated to Policy, Planning and Research. [2025]","The Board of Agriculture and Consumer Services, which oversees the department, consists of eleven members, one from each congressional district. Seven of the members must be farmers. The members are appointed by the governor for four-year terms and confirmed by the Senate. The presidents of Virginia State University and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University are ex-officio members of the board. The board is responsible for policy formulation on matters of agricultural and consumer concern.","Governor Ralph Northam appointed Dr. Jewel H. Bronaugh as the 16th Commissioner of the Dept. of Agriculture and Consumer Services in April 2018.  Prior to her appointment, Dr. Bronaugh served as the Dean of the College of Agriculture at Virginia State University, the Virginia State Executive Director for the USDA Farm Service Agency, and the Executive Director of the Center for Agriculture Research, Engagement and Outreach (CAREO) at Virginia State University.  In January 2021 Dr. Bronaugh was nominted as Deputy Director of the United States Department of Agriculture (UDSA) by President Joe Biden.  After confirmation, she resigned from VDACS on May 14, 2021 in order to assume her position.  Dr. Bronaugh received her Ph.D. in Career and Technical Education from Virginia Tech.","Electronic records in this collection are read-only and are only available in the Archives Research Room at the Library of Virginia.

The governor issued a proclamation of the name change on November 30, 1966, and on March 4, 1971, the General Assembly passed an act codifying the change. The name of the department was changed to the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services by an act passed by the General Assembly on March 24, 1978.","The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) promotes the economic growth and development of Virginia agriculture, provides consumer protection and encourages environmental stewardship.  The agency includes divisions for Animal and Food Industry Services (Dairy and Foods, Hemp Enforcement, Laboratory Services, Meat and Poultry, Veterinary Services), Commodity Services (Fruit and Vegetables, Grain, Livestock, Peanut, Poultry and Eggs), Consumer Protection (Charitable and Regulatory Programs, Pesticide Services, Plant Industry Services, Weight and Measures), and Marketing (Agriculture and Forestry Development, Domestic Promotion, Food Distribution, International, Market News), and also includes the State Milk Commission and a department dedicated to Policy, Planning and Research. [2025]","The Board of Agriculture and Consumer Services, which oversees the department, consists of eleven members, one from each congressional district. Seven of the members must be farmers. The members are appointed by the governor for four-year terms and confirmed by the Senate. The presidents of Virginia State University and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University are ex-officio members of the board. The board is responsible for policy formulation on matters of agricultural and consumer concern.","Governor Ralph Northam appointed Dr. Jewel H. Bronaugh as the 16th Commissioner of the Dept. of Agriculture and Consumer Services in April 2018.  Prior to her appointment, Dr. Bronaugh served as the Dean of the College of Agriculture at Virginia State University, the Virginia State Executive Director for the USDA Farm Service Agency, and the Executive Director of the Center for Agriculture Research, Engagement and Outreach (CAREO) at Virginia State University.  In January 2021 Dr. Bronaugh was nominted as Deputy Director of the United States Department of Agriculture (UDSA) by President Joe Biden.  After confirmation, she resigned from VDACS on May 14, 2021 in order to assume her position.  Dr. Bronaugh received her Ph.D. in Career and Technical Education from Virginia Tech."],"odd_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eElectronic records in this collection are read-only and are only available in the Archives Research Room at the Library of Virginia.

CETA Files, 1978-1983","This series is arranged alphabetically.","For many years, the Library of Virginia had no definitive home.  Valuable early records were kept at Jamestown as early as 1676 and were then moved to the College of William and Mary for a brief period at the century's end.  By 1780, extant records were moved to the Capitol in Richmond.","Coincidentally, in 1779, the Virginia General Assembly was presented among its legislation, \"A Bill for Establishing a Public Library\" drawn up by Thomas Jefferson.  The Bill provided for 2000 pounds yearly to be expended to maintain a State Library in Richmond. The facility was to be a reference library only without books being lent for home use.  Perhaps ahead of its time, the bill failed to pass.","The Virginia State Library was created by an act passed by the General Assembly on January 23, 1823, to establish a public library with funds derived from the sale of William W. Hening's THE STATUTES AT LARGE.  From 1823 to 1828, the Library was under the control of the governor and council.  In 1828, the General Assembly created a joint committee on the library (located in a room in the southeastern corner of the Capitol) to oversee its administration.  Use of the State Library was restricted to members of the state government in a policy that continued until at least 1856.  The Secretary of the Commonwealth served ex officio as state librarian from 1832 to 1903.","The growth of the State Library was somewhat erratic.  Book holdings increased from 1,313 in 1828 to 17,480 in 1856.  Lack of funds and politics frequently intermingled to slow library development.  General W. H. Richardson, State Librarian in 1852, became embroiled in an effort to remove him \"to make way for some politician of democratic principles.\"  At the close of Reconstruction, Dr. George William Bagby, then State Librarian, was terminated and his position abolished at the hands of Readjusters.","Eventually, on May 15, 1903, the General Assembly passed an act that created a library board to administer the library, authorized the deposit of public records in the library, provided for the publication of historical records by the library, and established a library fund for the purchase of books and private papers.  The Library Board, which was responsible for naming the State Librarian, was itself appointed by the Board of Education.  The General Assembly passed an act on March 29, 1944, transferring the power to appoint the Library Board to the governor.","While many public records somehow survived the Commonswealth's early years, many losses occurred due to fires, the ravages of war and negligence.  When the library was moved, for example, in 1895 to a building separate from the Capitol, \"chutes were constructed from the upper story of the Capitol to facilitate the delivery of books to the wagons of the junk dealer who had bought them.\"  The move was poorly planned and the library's contents suffered great loss at the hands of those very authorities assigned to protect them.","The new facility quickly was found to be inadequate and efforts were made both in 1910 and 1920 to construct a proper building for the State Library and its collections.  Ground was broken for the current facility on December 7, 1938.  At last, on December 23, 1940, the newly completed Virginia State Library was opened to the public."," The Virginia State Library adopted the name, the Virginia state Library and Archives, in early 1987 to more adequately reflect its mission and purpose today.

The Secretary of the Commonwealth served ex officio as state librarian from 1832 to 1903.","The growth of the State Library was somewhat erratic.  Book holdings increased from 1,313 in 1828 to 17,480 in 1856.  Lack of funds and politics frequently intermingled to slow library development.  General W. H. Richardson, State Librarian in 1852, became embroiled in an effort to remove him \"to make way for some politician of democratic principles.\"  At the close of Reconstruction, Dr. George William Bagby, then State Librarian, was terminated and his position abolished at the hands of Readjusters.","Eventually, on May 15, 1903, the General Assembly passed an act that created a library board to administer the library, authorized the deposit of public records in the library, provided for the publication of historical records by the library, and established a library fund for the purchase of books and private papers.  The Library Board, which was responsible for naming the State Librarian, was itself appointed by the Board of Education.  The General Assembly passed an act on March 29, 1944, transferring the power to appoint the Library Board to the governor.","While many public records somehow survived the Commonswealth's early years, many losses occurred due to fires, the ravages of war and negligence.  When the library was moved, for example, in 1895 to a building separate from the Capitol, \"chutes were constructed from the upper story of the Capitol to facilitate the delivery of books to the wagons of the junk dealer who had bought them.\"  The move was poorly planned and the library's contents suffered great loss at the hands of those very authorities assigned to protect them.","The new facility quickly was found to be inadequate and efforts were made both in 1910 and 1920 to construct a proper building for the State Library and its collections.  Ground was broken for the current facility on December 7, 1938.  At last, on December 23, 1940, the newly completed Virginia State Library was opened to the public."," The Virginia State Library adopted the name, the Virginia state Library and Archives, in early 1987 to more adequately reflect its mission and purpose today.  In July 1, 1994 the name was changed to the Library of Virginia.","This collection contains memorandums, correspondence, and reports describing the library's administering of the employment program known as CETA or the Federal Comprehensive Employment and Training Act.\n"," This series gives a brief look at the Virginia State Lib ray's participation in the federal jobs training program known as CETA or the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act.
