Civil War eResource: The Valley of the Shadow

Filed under: Education(General), Librarianshp — AaronTheLibrarian @ 12:38 pm

From the description: The Valley Project details life in two American communities, one Northern and one Southern, from John Brown’s Raid through Reconstruction.  Conatins 1000s of original letters, diaries, newspapers, speeches, and census and church records from Franklin County, Pennsylvania and Augusta County, Virginia.  The Valley Project tells forgotten stories of life during the Civil War.

The text-based pieces in the collection have both images of the original and transcripts.  There are also maps, images, official records, battle maps, soldiers’ records, and reference materials.  Pretty handy compilation of primary and secondary source materials for two views on life during the Civil War.
