Welcome to our online historical network
If you collect Civil War artifacts, study military antiques, follow battlefield preservation, chase down what a relic is really worth, or just enjoy learning something you did not know yesterday, we have been busy building something for you.
Historical Publications LLC now publishes a family of nine websites. Search artifacts offered by dealers and auction houses. Research what comparable relics have sold for. Find a trusted dealer. Look up a projectile or a fuze. Locate a show, a tour, or a living-history
program near you. Read half a century of Civil War News back articles — every word of them, free — or the current issue of
Military Antique Collector.
There is a great deal to discover here, so come in and have a good time.

One network, nine front doors
Read an article in the Civil War News archive → look up what that kind of piece has been selling for on Relics of War → see who has one for sale on Artifact Search → find the dealer on Civil War Dealers → then go handle it in person at a show you found
on Civil War Events. The sites are built to work that way, and every one of them is free to browse.

The websites
Nine places to spend an afternoon

|
|
Search & Discovery
ArtifactSearch.com
One search box for the militaria market. Artifact Search indexes current inventory from dozens of vetted dealers and auction companies — Colonial era through Vietnam, with Civil War material at its heart — alongside more than 17,000 recorded sold prices. It
is also a free research library: identification guides for belt plates, buttons, and bullets, a collector glossary, a firearms reference, guidance on spotting reproductions, and a state-by-state directory of historic sites, museums, and battlefields.

Collector Research
RelicsOfWar.com
What is your relic worth? This is the price guide: what belt plates, buckles, buttons, firearms, swords, photographs, and accoutrements have actually brought at auction and private sale, with condition and markings noted so the comparison means something. Free
identification guides sit beside the numbers — including how to spot the reproductions.
