Welcome to Civil War Richmond, an online research project designed to collect documents, photographs, and maps pertaining to Richmond, Virginia, during the Civil War.

Here you will find information regarding many varied facets of life inside the Confederate Capital. Because there is so much information regarding the hospitals and prisons in Richmond, these have been given their own sections - the "other sites" section deals with other important topics, including: battery defenses, cemeteries, industry, and civilian activity. The "events" section covers events in Richmond that do not relate to a particular site.

Use the buttons on the left to begin. This site is updated with new information nearly every week - please check back often.
