CIVIL
WAR RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET We have many handouts on doing Civil War era research including specific guides to Confederate and Union service sources. Our collection of books, microfilm, and microfiche is one of the best in the nation for materials on that period in American History. In addition to the sites recommended below you can find other information of interest with general searches through Google search engines. GENERAL WEB SITES
ROSTERS AND LISTS
BOOKS THAT CAN BE SEARCHED BY “[PHRASE]” AND/OR WORD
MANUSCRIPT CATALOGS Some libraries have
spectacular Civil War holdings that can be searched from their individual
library web sites including Tulane, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
(Southern Historical Collection), Emory University, and the William L. Clements
Library. Almost all National Park Service battlefields and other Civil War sites
have libraries with manuscript materials.
NEWSPAPERS THAT CAN BE SEARCHED AND ARTICLES READ Many large research libraries subscribe to data bases of such newspapers as the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune. We plan to have those subscriptions this year. We have on CD-ROM disk selected articles from the Civil War New York Herald, Richmond Examiner, and Charleston Mercury. Often newspapers reprinted stories from others newspapers.
