About this Collection

\n

\nThis online collection provides access to about 7,000 different views and \nportraits made during the American Civil War (1861-1865) and its immediate \naftermath. The images represent the original glass plate negatives made under \nthe supervision of Mathew Brady and Alexander Gardner as well as the \nphotographic prints in the Civil War photographs file in the Prints & \nPhotographs Reading Room. These negatives and prints are sometimes referred \nto as the Anthony-Taylor-Rand-Ordway-Eaton Collection to indicate the \nprevious owners. The Library purchased the negatives in 1943. \n
