Virginia warns Civil War documents

摘要

The Library of Virginia and the Virginia Sesquicentennial of the Civil War Commission are collaborating on The Civil War 150 Legacy Project, an effort to collect and preserve Virginia documents related to the Civil War and emancipation. Documents may in- clude letters, memoirs, pension materials, military passes, discharge papers, diaries, hand-drawn maps, selected memorabilia and other Civil War-era manuscripts that will be digitized for online viewing. Teams of professional archivists will visit local libraries, visitor centers, administrative offices or other public buildings to scan documents free of charge.
