Good afternoon,

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.

You can search for a word or phrase as well as browse by date or by calendar year.

We hope you find this resource useful and ask that you forward the information to any of your colleagues who might also be interested.
