Civil War @ Smithsonian Week of 09/04/2005 http://www.civilwar.si.edu/ Civil War @ Smithsonian is produced by the National Portrait Gallery and is dedicated to examining the Civil War through the Smithsonian Institution's extensive and manifold collections. Since the war itself, 1861–1865, the institution has been actively collecting, preserving, and remembering America’s most profound national experience. Now through the World Wide Web, this site will significantly expand that mission, giving the public increased access to Smithsonian collections and archives. This site is replete with information and resources for teachers, students or anyone interested in the topic. Rating: Excellent
