Free Civil War Website Available Through June 30, 2008
By Kathy Jones-Kristof | May 7, 2008
This Website is no longer open to the public. Free access closed on June 30, 2008. To access Alexander Street Press’ Civil War Databases, you must be a member or obtain access through a library that has a membership. Contact your local Public Library, or contact your local College, University or Museum to see if they have a membership and allow public access.
The Civil War Soldiers and Sailors Website is another free public website you can access at any time for Civil War information.
Alexander Street Press has announced that it is once again allowing public access to its entire Civil War series, The American Civil War Online, through June 30, 2008. Included in this series is The American Civil War Research Database, which was open to the public in April of this year. The success of that enterprise convinced them to allow this additional period of open access. Genealogists and researchers everywhere should take this chance to use this wonderful archive. I found it interesting not only for its value to genealogy, but history and general interest, also.
I originally wrote about Alexander Street Press’ website in a post on April 17 of this year, titled Free Civil War Website Available - But For a Limited Time, So Hurry! I won’t repeat myself here, except to say that the Research Database is incredibly easy to use. It’s also the most complete repository for Civil War rosters of soldiers and cross-referenced regiment data that I’ve found.
You only have until the end of June to do your research and enjoy free access to a great website, so get started!
