The Virginia Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War Commission runs this site, which is designed to provide information about events related to commemorating the 150th anniversary of Virginia's participation in the American Civil War. The commemoration began in 2009 with the anniversary of John Brown's Raid and runs through 2015. The site includes information on events going on throughout the state, as well as providing other news, resources, and Today in Civil War History. It also coordinates activities such as the Legacy Project, which involves the digitization of original documents from the Civil War, including letters, photographs, diaries, maps, and other Civil War-era materials. In fact, a document digitization event is planned for February 26 at Mechanicsville library; for more information, go here.
