Description of Pictures: Discovering the Civil War:
A Traveling Exhibit from the National Archives
Created in Partnership with the Foundation for the National Archives

In 2010 the National Archives will peel back 150 years of accumulated analysis, synthesis, and punditry to reveal a Civil War that is little-known and even more rarely displayed. DISCOVERING THE CIVIL WAR will give visitors the chance to walk in the shoes of researchers, unlock secrets, solve mysteries, and uncover unexpected events in our records. The exhibit combines great original treasures and engaging touch-screen interactives in a physical environment inspired by 21st-century research rooms. Letters, diaries, photos, maps, petitions, receipts, patents, amendments, and proclamations all become powerful tools to let visitors take a fresh look at a conflict that still touches our lives.

The Center for the National Archives Experience and the Foundation for the National Archives are proud to announce this major exhibit, which will break the boundaries of our conventional understanding of the scope of the war and its contemporary impact. After premiering in the Lawrence F. O'Brien Gallery in Washington, DC, DISCOVERING THE CIVIL WAR will embark upon a major, multi-city national tour beginning in 2011.

This page contains images of the press conference before a pre-opening press tour of the exhibit. Speakers included David Ferriero (chief archivist of the United States), Ken Burns, Kenneth Lore (chairman and president of the Foundation for the National Archives), and Marvin Pinkert (director of the National Archives Experience).

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
