<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">The Civil War Round Table of the District of Columbia (with
the help of its Director Steve Jaren) has created this listing of Civil War
history-related resources available online (and in some cases also in-person).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most of the links will open for free, but some
may require registration and/or the payment of a fee or a subscription.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Information is noted below if a site has a
cost associated with viewing its contents. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Many of the sites are secure and their website URL address
will start with “https.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An unsecured
site’s URL address will start with only “http” (that is, without the letter “s”
at the end of “http”). Before clicking on any of these sites, though, please
make sure your personal device/computer has the appropriate software to protect
against any potential malicious malware.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">The list is not exhaustive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">The Civil War Round Table of the District of Columbia
(CWRTDC) was established in 1951 with Bruce Catton and Virgil Carrington
"Pat" Jones among its founding members. Its purpose is to stimulate
and expand interest in the military, political, diplomatic, economic, and
socio-cultural history of the United States and particularly the Civil War. It
is also committed to preserving historical sites and landmarks through
initiatives such as, among others, its annual Edwin C. Bearss Awards. Among its
achievements, the Round Table spawned the National Civil War Centennial
Commission. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Private Voices is the offspring of the Corpus of American
Civil War Letters (CACWL) project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Michael Ellis of Missouri State University and Michael Montgomery of the
University of South Carolina began the project in 2007 with the goal of seeking
and transcribing letters written during the Civil War to gather evidence of
regional American English in the 19th century.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As of May 2018, the project amassed more than 10,000 letters
and diaries written during the conflict by common soldiers and their families
from all parts of the country. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Private Voices was launched in July 2017 with transcriptions
of nearly 4,000 letters from four Southern states: North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has
now entered its second phase with an additional 2,000 letters from four
Northern states: Ohio, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Maine. Preparations are
underway to add letters from other Northern and Southern states, as well as
additional letters from the eight states they have already introduced. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Besides the letter transcriptions, the site has created two
sections dealing specifically with language: “Camp Talk,” which features
specialized glossaries of terms gleaned from the letters, and “Word Maps,”
which features dozens of maps that locate geographically some of the most
regionally distinctive words and linguistic features found in the letters. The
site also has a search feature which enables the user to search words in
context.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Users can also check out the
website’s “Writers and Collections” section to browse letters, letter writers,
and archival collections.</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">In the late 19th century, General Samuel C. Lawrence
collected nearly 3,700 photographic images.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">The Civil War Round Table of the District of Columbia (CWRTDC) was established in 1951 with Bruce Catton and Virgil Carrington "Pat" Jones among its founding members. Its purpose is to stimulate and expand interest in the military, political, diplomatic, economic, and socio-cultural history of the United States and particularly the Civil War. It is also committed to preserving historical sites and landmarks through initiatives such as, among others, its annual Edwin C. Bearss Award. Among its achievements, the Round Table spawned the National Civil War Centennial Commission. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span>For more information about the CWRTDC, visit </span><a href="www.cwrtdc.org " target="_blank">www.cwrtdc.org </a></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span>Click on a speaker or topic posted on CWRTDC's audio/video recording

Collections Library, the site presents samples of the Civil War’s
documentary remains. The site states, “The concept of Civil War Day by Day is a
simple one: every day for the four years of the Civil War presenting a document
that is 150 years old to the day. This project, Civil War Day by Day
contains images of more than 1458 primary source documents. Contributions from
Documenting the American South, the North Carolina Collection, the Rare Book
Collection, the Southern Folklife Collection, the Southern Historical
Collection, and University Archives will include newspapers, pamphlets, books,
broadsides, legislation, photographs, sheet music, letters, diaries, order
books, and telegrams. The Civil War Day by Day is neither an exhaustive,
nor even a representative presentation of the UNC holdings. Rather, it is
suggestive, presenting readers with small stories and isolated declarations. It
is also a largely unmediated presentation.”</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

multiple perspectives as a case study of social, political, cultural, and
medical/scientific transitions provoked or accelerated by the Civil War. The
project draws on the methods of many fields—literary studies, history,
geography, computer-aided mapping—to create a digital resource that chronicles
the war's impact on the city. It draws on material ranging from census
records to literary texts and from forgotten individuals to the famous (such as
Abraham Lincoln and Walt Whitman). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Its website features essays, conference papers, grant narratives, and
other materials about Civil War Washington as a project.</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
