Under the aegis of the University of Virginia and the leadership of history professor Edward L. Ayers, the archive contains some 5000 pages of digitized photographs, newspaper articles, records, wills, census figures, and diaries covering the years 1857 to 1870 and issuing from two representative counties, one in Pennsylvania and one in Virginia. With the boon of database searching, modern users can find connections which might have taken pre-Valley researchers an entire sabbatical to cobble together. All rights reserved.
