Three wide published Civil War reference resources are included in this series, at least in part. These items have been retained primarily for staff research, due to their fragile state. They provide high levels of quality graphics on the Civil War period, but are too fragile for public use at this time. However, the sources may be fairly widely available through the general circulating collections or interlibrary loan.

Items 1 & 2 are available at GRPL in later versions.
