The Library of Virginia's Death Records Indexing Project is an index of microfilmed versions of local registers as part of a long-term, state-wide project to provide better access to local death records. Each index entry provides the name of the deceased, the date of death, information about slaves and slave owners if present, and the year and page number of the register where the death is recorded.
The online database is fully keyword searchable and currently contains over 46,000 entries.

PWCo. Chancery Records Online
For online digital collections, I highly recommend the Library of Virginia. If you can't get to Richmond, LVA's Virginia Memory site is the next best thing to being there. Here you can find links to records and scanned images of Revolutionary War Bounty Warrents, Confederate pension rolls, and more.
One link that I never tire of visiting is the Chancery Records Index.
What is a chancery cause? To quote the LVA FAQ, "a chancery case was one that could not be readily decided by existing written laws. A judge, not a jury, determines the outcome of the case. These types of court documents are useful when researching genealogical information and land or estate divisions and may contain correspondence, lists of heirs, or vital statistics, among other items. Cases in chancery often address estate and business disputes, debt, the resolution of land disputes, and divorce."
The Chancery records for Prince William County in the collection cover the years 1804 to 1954 with scanned images available online. It is searchable by surname or date range.
Searching the index and viewing the images is free.
