The Richmond Daily Dispatch (1860 - 1865) has been digitized
and is now available online. It is completely searchable and chock
full of stories that haven't seen the light of day in the past
140 years. This is the result of a National Leadership Grant from
the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and collaboration
between the University of Richmond, Tufts University's Perseus
Project, and the Virginia Center for Digital History. Learn, first
hand, what was happening from some of the people making it happen
here in the Capital of the Confederacy. You can search for a word
or phrase as well as browse by date or by calendar year. Have
fun and we appreciate all the help we can get in letting people
know that the Dispatch is up and ready to use. The
