| Civil War Soldiers |

The Archives of Michigan has close to 1,400 Civil War photographs in its collections. The majority of the images are carte de visite's of soldiers taking during the years of the Civil War. Also included are reproductions of sheet music, broadsides and group photographs. Generally, images of entire units do not exist in this collection, and are fairly rare for Civil War units. Users are free to print or right-click and save a low resolution image to a PC. Please always cite the Archives of Michigan if an image is used for a publication or demonstration.
