Forwarded mail of interest. You may want to pass this along to your CC's. I did a couple of quick searches on specific points of interest to me and found it a very useful source of information. Scott Burow NC - USGenWeb Project ----- Original Message ----- From: BEVPEV@aol.com To: sburow@swbell.net Sent: Sunday, November 12, 2006 5:12 PM Subject: Civil War Years As a student of the Civil War and an avid geneologist I was thrilled to find the following website obtained from a Quilt History list I subscribe to. I just wanted to share this with as many other geneologists as possible. I would very much like to find other newspapers that have been digitized, especially one as searchable as this one. Thank you for your efforts on behalf of geneologists and historians.

The project is not yet complete. However the newspaper is now available for use and exploration. Please bring it to the attention of faculty who study or teach about the Civil War era at your school or college. We welcome your comments and feedback on this work in progress; just click on the survey link on the newspaper's homepage at http://dlxs.richmond.edu/d/ddr/index.html. We hope this will be useful to a broad audience encompassing scholars, students, genealogists, Civil War buffs, re-enactors, and more. Please feel free to bring it to the attention of other librarians and interested parties.
