150th Anniversary of the beginning of the Civil War
Wisconsin in the Civil War - Wisconsin Historical Society
To mark its sesquicentennial (150th anniversary), we created "Wisconsin in the Civil War," a digital collection containing more than 16,000 original documents. The collection provides ready access to dozens of diaries, regimental histories and book-length memoirs, thousands of soldiers letters, hundreds of newspaper articles, and more than 1,000 photographs, maps and other images. The collection goes beyond basic facts about Wisconsin military units. It offers personal, in-depth, and moving portraits of Wisconsin soldiers in war.
The Wisconsin Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission
This website will be a source of continuing information and will include a schedule of events as well as images, historical information, and links to participating institutions, historical organizations and sites. We hope that Wisconsin’s observation of the sesquicentennial will be remembered not for itself but for the increased understanding of the Civil War which the commission will attempt to create.
The Civil War Trust Civil War Sesquicentennial
The Civil War Trust is America's largest non-profit organization devoted to the preservation of our nation's endangered Civil War battlefields. The Trust also promotes educational programs and heritage tourism initiatives to inform the public of the war's history and the fundamental conflicts that sparked it.

The "Discovering the Civil War" exhibition will present the most extensive display ever assembled from the incomparable Civil War holdings of the National Archives, and will take a fresh look at the Civil War through little-known stories, seldom-seen documents, and unusual perspectives.
