Acknowledgments

This project is supported by funds from the Tennessee Board of Regents Office of Academic Affairs and the Tennessee Civil War National Heritage Area, a unit of the National Park Service. These competitive grants provided funding for scholarly essays, digitization of objects, and the design of an innovative collection interface.

The original project was directed by Dr. Carroll Van West and with support from the Center for Historic Preservation and James E. Walker Library in 2013-2014. The project redesign was led by the library, in collaboration with phenomenal partners, and took place in 2016-2017.
