Transcribed Civil War Diaries and Letters Available Online

 Do you have an ancestor who served in the Civil War? Or, are you wanting some context about the war from someone who was there? Transcribed letters and diaries on Spared & Shared may have what you are looking for. These documents have been purchased on eBay or were user-submitted and transcribed by Will Griffing. They are free to view online at Spared & Shared, arranged by state.

Spared & Shared and its sister websites have “thousands of Civil War era correspondence and diaries that have remained unpublished until now, with most residing in private collections for decades. A significant portion of this work has been presented on various Spared & Shared Webpages or in independent, stand-alone websites.”
