Hi, Karen,
The omission of a space between the URL and the word "This" at the
beginning of the next sentence makes it impossible to click and go to the
website that you gave in your email below. It might be a problem for some
people, and you might want to resend the email with the space in place.
It was not a problem for me. I took a quick glance and am looking
forward to having a couple of hours when I can sit and examine the
information online. Great work!

> 1861
> through April 15, 1865. There are a few exceptions. Shortly after the
> Election

> records
> relating to the assassination of Lincoln, the capture, confinement and
> execution
> of the conspirators, the capture, and imprisonment of Jefferson Davis, and
> finally the capture and trial of John Surratt will be included. This
> project,
> upon completion will inventory the complete holdings of the National
> Arhives
> related to the Civil War years. All documents are scanned in color.
> Documents,
> as well as maps, photographs, newspapers, political cartoons, and podcasts
