About

The George and Ann Richards Civil War Era Center is a scholarly research center at Penn State University dedicated to the study of the Civil War as fundamentally a struggle over the intersections of race, slavery, and democracy. The Center embraces an expansive view of this crucial period in American history, encompassing the earliest histories of slavery to the modern struggle for civil rights. Its mission is to center these issues in academic and public understandings of the war, from its causes and conduct to its long-enduring consequences. The Center supports scholars through fellowships (postdoctoral, predoctoral, visiting scholar, and faculty), internships, events, publications including The Journal of the Civil War Era, and various awards programs.
