Freedom and Southern Society Project (located at the University of Maryland) is the best resource I have found for information related to emancipation. "The Freedmen and Southern Society Project was established in 1976 to capture the essence of that revolution by depicting the drama of emancipation in the words of the participants: liberated slaves and defeated slaveholders, soldiers and civilians, common folk and the elite, Northerners and Southerners". This project is located at the University of Maryland in College Park. They have many documents that are culled from the collections of the National Archives.Ý For a detailed timeline on emancipation and great bibliography check out this site.
