CW 150 LEGACY PROJECT
The Civil War 150 Legacy Project: Document Digitization and Access is a multi-year initiative to locate, digitize and provide world-wide access to the private documentary heritage of the American Civil War era located throughout Virginia. Utilizing Local Sesquicentennial Committees established by the Virginia Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War Commission and through a partnership with the Library of Virginia and a network of statewide connections, the Civil War 150 Legacy Project will provide individuals an opportunity to have their historic letters, diaries and other collections scanned to preserve their valuable intellectual content. This project is to enhance the information available to researchers. We do not appraise, evaluate, or authenticate records.
Staff will be traveling the state to digitize documents- please see the schedule to find out when we’re coming to your area. You may also contact us at: cw150legacy@lva.virginia.gov. Collections are being added to on a regular basis. Please check back for new materials as we travel throughout Virginia.
