MHI Photograph Database

This database is a catalog of American Civil War (ACW) photographs from the Special Collections Branch of MHI. Usually, patrons are searching for ancestors, researching particular ACW regiments, or looking for examples of items worn or used by soldiers of the period.

Using the search function, I (Elaine Johnson) searched and found the following photographs that are available pertaining to the 27th Regiment Iowa Volunteer Infantry.  I will check periodically to see if any additional photos have been added.   I think these photos are copyrighted which will preclude me from posting them on the website.  However, I will check this out and in the meantime can make interested viewers aware of the availability of these photos.
