MDCH is part of an exciting new collaborative digitization project. "The Civil War in Your Attic: Preserving the Legacy of Maryland and the Civil War" is a statewide initiative to identify and digitize original Civil War era documents and photographs owned by private individuals throughout Maryland. In 2011 and 2012, "The Civil War in Your Attic" scanning events will be held at libraries and other institutions throughout the state. The first scanning event will be held on July 16 at the Enoch Pratt Free Library. More details about the project, how you can participate, and a list of scanning events can be found here.
