Virginia Historical Society (VHS) to host Civil War manuscript scanning event

The Virginia Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War Commission and the Library of Virginia have partnered to create a state-wide online collection of original Civil War manuscripts that still remain in private hands. The Civil War 150 Legacy Project focuses on manuscript materials created from 1859-1867 that reflect social, political, military, business, and religious life in Virginia. Citizens are encouraged to bring original family materials to be scanned and included in the Project. Scanned materials will be made available on the Library of Virginia and Virginia Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War Commission web site.

A scanning event is scheduled for Saturday, September 24, 2011 from 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. at the VHS. Pre-registration is required; call Caroline Legros 804-342-9652 to make an appointment.
