The Civil War Preservation Trust Photo Archive
The American Civil War was one of the world's first conflicts where photographers were able to capture the images of conflict and its participants. In the 21st century photography is still an important contributor to our cause. We hope that you will enjoy our expanding collection of photos of Civil War battlefields and the CWPT in action, and will share your own photos with us.
