Subject: Richmond Civil War newspaper now online Through support from an IMLS grant and in collaboration with Project Perseus at Tufts University, the University of Richmond has digitized the Richmond Daily Dispatch newspaper for the Civil War years. The project is not yet complete. However the newspaper is now available for use and exploration. Please bring it to the attention of faculty who study or teach about the Civil War era at your school or college. We welcome your comments and feedback on this work in progress; just click on the survey link on the newspaper's homepage at http://dlxs.richmond.edu/d/ddr/index.html. We hope this will be useful to a broad audience encompassing scholars, students, genealogists, Civil War buffs, re-enactors, and more. Please feel free to bring it to the attention of other librarians and interested parties. On Friday, November 10, Jim Gwin and Prof. Robert Kenzer of the University of Richmond will present a program on this project at the VLA conference: New News About the Old News: Civil War Newspapers and Digital Collaboration This session will explore the development of a grant to digitize three Civil War area newspapers: Richmond Daily Dispatch, The Boston Liberator, and the Philadelphia Daily Dispatch; how historians plan to use them and how collaboration with another University impacted the technology, organization and teaching/learning of both institutions.
