Library of Congress : Civil War Resources

I've been spending some time on the Library of Congress website the last few days.  There are so many wonderful resources there!  In the next few posts, I will highlight resources of interest, but there is far too much to cover in a few blog posts.  Head over to their website and check it out!


The Civil War resources at the Library of Congress cover the gamut from  Reconstruction, to Abraham Lincoln, to Slavery and Abolition. Photographs, official papers, personal accounts, and maps are available.  With such a wide range of multi-media materials, students in both middle and high school will be able to locate pertinent information.

Additionally, the Historic Papers section dates back to 1860 and students can view the actual newspaper pages.
