how Research arsenal began

research arsenal history


Research Arsenal is a digital primary resource archive focused on the Civil War. We currently have over 100,000 documents and photos with more being added to the collection daily. The goal of the Research Arsenal is to provide both casual and professional researchers with access to original documents and to preserve history by digitizing previously unavailable records.

With our keyword and metadata tagging system, you can search for documents and images related to specific battles, locations, units, or even weapons and gear. With thousands of personal letters, Research Arsenal offers a more personal view of the war and the everyday lives of mid-19th century Americans.

Research Arsenal is a great resource for:

Historians
Genealogists
Reenactors
Educators

Research Arsenal is a non-profit organization and your membership fees support keeping the database online as well as the digitization of future records.
