[Tip of the hat to the good folks over at Civil War Historian magazine’s message board.]

You may be interested to know that every issue of The Richmond Daily Dispatch published from 1860 - 1865 is now posted online thanks to the Richmond Institute of Museum and Library Services. They have also included two additional fully searchable texts to the collection: Richmond at War, and Henrico Home Front. These collections contain the Richmond city council minutes and the Henrico County court records from the Civil War period. There is an excellent essay posted on Confederate Richmond by Dr. Robert C. Kenzer too. Visit the Richmond Daily Dispatch.
