    This is the PBS site titled Images of the Civil War. Here is the page's description:
    Archival images played an essential role in the creation of The Civil War. Throughout the film, Ken Burns uses these images to draw us into the story, showing us the people, places and events captured by Civil War photographers' glass-plate negatives.

    Explore the work of these photographers through this special feature developed in partnership with The Library of Congress. Examine the story told by each detail in an image, experiment with storytelling or browse through a collection of nearly 200 images arranged by topic.


    Within this Feature:

    There are three sections within this feature. The first two two sections, Telling Details and Telling A Story are interactive and require the Flash plugin from Macromedia. The third section will work without the plugin.

    The Civil War Photo Galley allows people to share images from the Civil War. It is a good source for primary source documents and keeping a consistent theme.
