Can I see or use the Hancock Bible in your Special Collections?
Answer
Randolph-Macon having the Hancock Bible is our local "urban myth." We get inquiries for it periodically, but we do not have it in our collection. We are unsure of when this misinformation that we have it began circulating, but we have never had this item and unfortunately don’t have any information about where it may have ended up. The Library of Virginia has some materials on the Hancock Family so they may be able to help you with your research. Contact information for them is at http://www.lva.virginia.gov/
