American Civil War Newspapers

From the Virginia Center for Civil War Studies, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. The goal of the American Civil War Newspapers database is to select a representative group of journals to index, with digital images of the newspapers themselves, for use by students and scholars. The newspapers selected will be a representative sampling of Union and Confederate, urban and small town, Eastern and Western, pro- and anti-administration.

Confederate Newspaper Project

The Confederate Newspaper Project is the result of my research into the journalistic accounts of the common Confederate soldiers and their own recollections of the war as published in Southern newspapers. This site is organized by state and county.
