The organization names below are linked to each organization’s record, if available, in the OCLC WorldCat Registry. OCLC’s WorldCat Registry allows libraries worldwide to manage and organize their data for vendors and third parties by creating and maintaining a comprehensive institutional profile in a single, Web-accessible location.
American Civil War Collection (http://collections.carli.illinois.edu/cdm4/index_sie_civilw.php?CISOROOT=/sie_civilw)
Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (http://www.worldcat.org/registry/Institutions/918)
This digital collection was created by Lovejoy Library in 2009. It contains an assemblage of handwritten letters, song sheets, and military orders. Spanning the entire period of the American Civil War (1861-1865), these items gathered together provide a unique and insightful glimpse into the era. The project was made possible by Dr. Richard L. Millett, Emeritus Professor of History at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville who donated the use of his collection to the Library.
