Witness the United States Civil War by transcribing and deciphering
messages and codes from the United States Military Telegraph.
Volunteers Wanted! 75,000 Strong!
Join our Effort!
Over one hundred and fifty years have passed since the end of the United States
Civil War and it still captures the imagination and passion of young and old.
Decoding the Civil War, funded by a two-year grant from the National Historical
Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), is a consortium project to digitize
and transcribe the Union Army telegrams from The Thomas T. Eckert Papers.
This project draws together the expertise of four organizations –
The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens; the Papers of
Abraham Lincoln at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum;
North Carolina State University; and the Zooniverse with its team at the
University of Minnesota – with the hope that the transcription and decoding of
Civil War telegrams will engage, and fire curiosity, in new and younger audiences.
