TITLE: The Civil War 150 Legacy Project: Document Digitization and Access [Library of Virginia]
DESCRIPTION: http://www.virginiamemory.com/collections/cw150. This project, initiated in cooperation with the Virginia Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War Commission, is creating a digital archive of original sources of information about the Civil War in Virginia that still remain in private hands. Letters, diaries, and other material identified through this project will help put a human face on the period that transformed the United States. Citizens across the commonwealth will be invited to share their family treasures with the project so that their items will be available to future researchers. Images will be added to the project web site as they are scanned and described by Library of Virginia archivists.

FAQ: What is a “Family File” in the catalog?
Our Family Files contain various loose paper research materials donated to us by professional and amateur historians and researchers. They sometimes, but do not usually, also contain copies of pages from published books that would be found on our library shelves. Family Files are arranged by surname and may cover multiple lines and counties, mostly in eastern Virginia. They are of varying quality. Some include carefully researched data complete with citations to sources. Others are simply genealogical charts, family group sheets, handwritten notes, or other data which may or may not include references. Printed or scanned copies can be purchased. Contact us for specifics.
