The Digital Scriptorium at Duke University's Special Collections Library
has recently added new on-line archival collections to the library's web
site. 

The "Civil War Women" web pages feature scanned images of manuscript pages
and full text of the writings of women during the American Civil War.
Currently available are the 1864 diary of Alice Williamson, a 16-year-old
girl from Gallatin, Tennessee, and the papers of Rose O'Neal Greenhow, a
renowned Confederate spy.
