"The
Valley of the Shadow Project takes
two communities, one Northern and one Southern, through the
experience of the American Civil War. The project is a hypermedia
archive of thousands of sources for the period before, during, and
after the Civil War for Augusta County, Virginia, and Franklin
County, Pennsylvania. Those sources include newspapers, letters,
diaries, photographs, maps, church records, population census,
agricultural census, and military records. Students can explore
every dimension of the conflict and write their own histories,
reconstructing the life stories of women, African Americans,
farmers, politicians, soldiers, and families. The project is
intended for secondary schools, community colleges, libraries, and
universities."
