The Society for Civil War Historians held its biennial meeting in Richmond on June 17-20, which gave the DSL a chance to showcase some of its work. The plenary address, “Fighting and Freedom: United States Military Forces and the Geography of Emancipation” highlighted maps of emancipation that the DSL has produced over the last several months. We also held an open house showing a number of textual and mapping projects on the Civil War. Links to these projects will be coming soon.
