The Richmond Daily Dispatch Online

The Richmond Daily Dispatch is the result of a National Leadership Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and collaboration between the University of Richmond, Tufts University's Perseus Project, and the Virginia Center for Digital History. There are currently 1384 issues of the paper available online, ranging in date from November 1860 through December 1865.

Though far removed from Southern Appalachia in both place and outlook, the Richmond Daily Dispatch was the newspaper of record for the entire Confederacy.
