The Digital Library of Georgia and the Association of Southern Research Libraries have launched their new archive, Civil War and the American South, which is now available at http://www.galileo.usg.edu/express?link=amso or though the GALILEO site.
In recognition of the sesquicentennial of the start of the American Civil War, Civil War in the American South provides a central portal to access digital collections from the Civil War Era (1850-1865) held by members of the Association of Southeastern Research Libraries (ASERL). ASERL members hold deep and extensive collections documenting the history and culture of the American South, developed over hundreds of years to support scholarly research and teaching. Many of the special or unique manuscripts, photographs, books, newspapers, broadsides, and other materials have been digitized to provide broader access to these documents for scholars and students around the world. Civil War in the American South is a collaborative initiative to provide a single, shared point of access to the Civil War digital collections held at many individual libraries.
GALILEO has also put together a list of helpful Civil War resources online at: http://about.galileo.usg.edu/docs/materials_docs/CivilWarSesquicentennialhandout.pdf
