Archival Collections
The images in this digital collection are drawn from the New-York
Historical Society's rich archival collections that document the Civil
War. They include recruiting posters for New York City regiments of
volunteers; stereographic views documenting the mustering of soldiers and
of popular support for the Union in New York City; photography showing the
war's impact, both in the north and south; and drawings and writings by
ordinary soldiers on both sides.
The mission of the Library of Congress is to make its resources available
and useful to Congress and the American people and to sustain and preserve
a universal collection of knowledge and creativity for future generations.
The goal of the Library's National Digital Library Program is to offer
broad public access to a wide range of historical and cultural documents
as a contribution to education and lifelong learning. Digital collections
from other institutions complement and enhance the Library's own
resources.
The Library of Congress presents these documents as part of the record of
the past. These primary historical documents reflect the attitudes,
perspectives, and beliefs of different times. The Library of Congress and
the New-York Historical Society do not endorse the views expressed in
these collections, which may contain materials offensive to some readers.
Special Presentation: Before, During, and After the Civil War.
The digitization and presentation of these materials by The New-York Historical Society were
supported by the generosity of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
The source materials for this collection are housed at the The New-York Historical Society.
For information about the original materials or requests for
reproductions, contact the New-York Historical
Society Library.
