Eyewitness Pictures of the Civil War

American Civil War Camera

This website collection of Civil War pictures has been amassed through three different sets of works:

  • Harpers Semi-Monthly Civil War Edition
  • Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Weekly
  • The Photographic History of the Civil War (10 Volumes)

And we hope to add two additional sources of period materials:

  • Harper’s Weekly
  • Illustrated London News
