Ohio Civil War Genealogy Subscription

OCWGC - Subscriber Only Section

The subscriber-only section of the Center expands the Ohio Civil War Genealogy Journal to provide online databases and resources relating to Ohio’s participation in the Civil War. Some of the materials presented in this section have been published in past issues of OCWGJ, others are searchable compilations of materials that were published in several issues of OCWGJ, and still others are new databases that are too large for publication in a print journal. Some items are searchable databases, others are reference articles and lists that are updated frequently or that researchers need readily accessible, and some focus on "how-to" aspects of Civil War genealogy research.

A major feature of the subscriber-only section is that all back issues of OCWGJ are (or soon will be) available in PDF file format. Currently, Volumes III through XIII (44 issues) are available, and the first two volumes will be available as soon as they can be scanned.
