The Illinois State Historical Library has collections of manuscripts, photographs, and newspapers. Any of these collections can include Illinois Civil War soldier information. Staff can check to see if a photograph of a particular regiment (or regiment member) is available, and they can also check a card file which lists newspaper references to particular Illinois Civil War regiments. More detailed information may be found here: http://www.state.il.us/hpa/lib/#Audiovisual. There are more than 350,000 photographs in the Library's Audiovisual collection. Topics covered include Civil War soldiers and battles. Most of the photographs can be copied for a fee by Library staff after selection by the patron. Phone (217) 785-7955 (e-mail requests not accepted). The Library's 4,900 newspaper titles are preserved on nearly 73,000 microfilm reels. The collection includes many newspapers published during the Civil War. The Library maintains a card file which lists Civil-War era newspaper articles about particular Illinois Civil War regiments. The collection of the U.S. Army Military History Institute in Carlisle Barracks, PA, also includes Civil War soldier photographs. Following is the URL for a database listing USMHI's photographs of Civil War soldiers (please contact them directly to request reprints of photos): http://carlisle-www.army.mil/cgi-bin/usamhi/PhotoDB/FindPhotos.cfm The above URL can also be used to search for photographs of members of regiments raised by Illinois, or by other states and territories which participated in the Civil War (note: most of the photos in the collection are of Union soldiers). The site can be finicky, so try again if you don't successfully access it first time out.
