A Digital Archive of Civil War Letters

In early 2023 Shenandoah University's McCormick Civil War Institute (MCWI) began a joint effort with William Griffing to place the thousands of Civil War letters he transcribed over the decades in a central location. This site, which will continue to grow as additional transcriptions are added by MCWI's team, will also contain transcriptions of the letters from MCWI's collections that have not been published as either stand-alone volumes or in our annual Journal of the Shenandoah Valley during the Civil War Era.
