Project Overview
Faces of Gettysburg
The museum’s growing collection of portraits of soldiers and civilians who experienced the Battle of Gettysburg are featured in this searchable database.
Visitors can browse through hundreds of archival images to see the faces and learn the identity of those portrayed and present at the battle. The portraits can be filtered by Union or Confederate affiliation, and individuals can be searched by army, state, regiment, or rank. While the interactive helps visitors learn more about the faces of those present at Gettysburg, a digital accompaniment to images filling a wall within one of the galleries, the backend database and content management system empower the staff to continue to add new images continually donated to the museum.
