A Bibliography of Illinois Civil War
Regimental Sources in the Collections of the
Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library
Part 1, Published and Printed Sources
Compiled by WILLIAM B. TUBBS
Some fourteen years ago an Illinois State Historical Library (ISHL) patron asked
this onetime reference department employee about the availability of sources
relating to a single Civil War regiment. In response to that inquiry, a bibliography
was compiled for that regiment. With the increased interest in the Civil War, in
part due to the success of Ken Burns’s The Civil War, similar requests were received
on a semiregular basis. The end result, which was first published in 1994, was a
bibliography of ISHL sources for all of the Illinois Civil War regiments. With the
collections of the ISHL now housed at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library
(ALPL), it becomes important again to make researchers aware of the immense
diversity of the collections within the new library building.
Part 2 of this bibliography, which covers the collections of the Manuscript
Department of the ALPL, will appear in a future issue of the Journal of Illinois
History.
