A Guide to Civil War Records at the State Archives of Florida
The purpose of this guide is to identify and describe the state,
federal, and private records pertaining to Florida’s Civil War era (1860-1865) housed at the State Archives of Florida. We hope this guide will assist and promote research into this time period.
The guide is divided into three sections. The first section provides a short history of Florida's role in the Civil War. The second part is a listing of all the government records by record group.
Finally, there are three appendices. The first is a listing of Florida-related Civil War records located in other repositories across the state and nation. The second is a comprehensive listing of articles, books, dissertations, and other writings on the Civil War in Florida, as well as a listing of related web resources. The last appendix is a series of links of Civil War museums and historic sites in Florida. |
