More has been written about the Civil War than any other military conflict in which the United States has been involved, and the Newberry has a very large selection of these writings. From its inception, the Newberry has collected these publications from both North and South and consequently has one of the best Civil War collections in the Midwest. Anyone wishing to research the Civil War using published primary sources should consider the Newberry a library of first resort.
These publications include not only works on particular battles, campaigns, and generals, but also numerous military unit histories and personal narratives as well. Some other sources one might find at the Newberry relating to the Civil War include:
For more on the Newberry's published Civil War resources, see David Thackery's Civil War Research at the Newberry Library: A Bibliography. In addition to the expansive holdings in Civil War published primary sources, the Newberry has a growing collection of Civil War manuscripts.
For the Reconstruction Era, the Newberry has diverse research materials ranging from local histories on that period of intense dissension to Freedmen's Bureau Records on microfilm. For related sources, see the African American Studies section.
