The Citadel and the American Civil War Research Guide

We have created a Research Guide to assist those interested in learning more about The Citadel’s involvement in the American Civil War. It features archival material, journal articles, books, and Web resources. Also included are the Daniel Library Friends Guest Speakers’ publications. We will continue to add to the Guide as sesquicentennial commemorations and special dates approach.

Library Renovation Blog

RENOVATION is a work in progress, but we hope to make it the central point of information dissemination.

The Citadel’s Civil War material now online

Through the Lowcountry Digital Library, items from The Citadel Archives & Museum Civil War collection are viewable online. These unique items range from personal accounts of The Citadel during and after the Civil War to official documents and orders. One of the highlights is General Orders No. 50 which refers to the U.S. flag being raised at Fort Sumter on April 14, 1865.

We will continue to add material as the sesquicentennial commemoration draws near.
