PATH I: Investigating
Civil War Soldiers from Beverly
 |
|
Director
Martha Mayo was instrumental in teaching students how
to research Civil War documents.
|
Our trip to the Center for Lowell History
provided us with a glimpse of a useful and helpful local history
repository. Director Martha Mayo exhibited several significant
items in the collection, such as papers of Civil War veterans,
including diaries, letters, and artwork. Also useful
to our inquiry was a database that volunteers at the Center created
called the Union
Veterans and Widows of the Veterans of the Civil War.
This is an index to the Union Civil War veteran's schedule of
1890. For our project to produce a Beverly Civil War
Soldiers Database, we also needed to know how to find names in
the census. To find out, we turned to the National Archives
in Waltham.
