I'm back in school and I have to write a small paper about school and public education during the civil war in both Union an Confederate States and in the early years of the Reconstruction. It looks very hard to find sources. Could anybody point me in the right direction to find publications. Thank you! Robert |

The first thing that popped into my mind was the schools run by the Freedmen's Bureau. A quicj Google search brought this up: link link link link This might give you a starting point. Hope it helps. |

Have you spoken with a reference librarian at your school's library? |

Too bad they don't teach card catalogues anymore – and Dewey Decimal ;) |

My experience with university reference librarians is that they love it when people ask them for help. I'd send one a nicely worded email about what you need, and your challenges as a commuter, and see what they come up with. |
