These are some great resources. There’s also the Civil War Wayne Whalen collection at the Harold Washington Library. If you are interested in handling Chicago civil war artifacts, here’s a link to a blog that talks a little bit more about the archives there, and mentions the extensive Civil War collection! http://blog.chicagodetours.com/2012/01/exploring-the-archives-part-2/
