If we're looking for an exhaustive collection of 'engagements' in Virginia as a part of the skeleton for the project, one of the places it might be found is:
civilwartraveler.com Virginia (divides the state into 5 subparts)
Other sites with lists:
STUDY OF CIVIL WAR SITES IN THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY OF VIRGINIA
The essence of the Task:
Create a DataBase with records containing the metadata [in Dublin Core format] for spatially/temporally specificable items in W&L's Special Collections (and elsewhere); link to ArcIMS. Contrive the means to upload candidate items for review, to edit/vet candidate items, and to download/distribute such items as can be distributed [viz. map layers].The Frank Reader Diary
