Collection Description

This Web site explores Brooklyn during the Civil War by presenting primary source documents — photographs, letters, newspaper articles, illustrations, and more — that show what life was like during this period. At the bottom of each page are links to information about this project created by the Brooklyn Public Library’s Brooklyn Collection, an online survey, and the Brooklyn Daily Eagle Online, 1841-1902, a searchable repository of Brooklyn’s newspaper of record. The site is divided into 4 main themes: Soldiers, Women, Slavery, and Daily life.
