MHS Civil War Collections Online

By: admin | What's New | March 1, 2013

The Minnesota Historical Society maintains a rich collection of primary source materials (government records, manuscripts, photographs, art, artifacts) and secondary resources (books, published diaries, official sources) relating to the Civil War.


Our new Civil War Collections website features a timeline of major events and allows users to browse the Society’s holdings by collection type, topic, or event.  Check it out!
