This is a Vimeo video about last year's exhibit at the Mid-Atlantic branch of the National Archives about the Allegheny Arsenal.
An exploration of women who worked in Civil War arsenals, which often had tragic consequences for eventual book, including examinations of disasters in Lawrenceville PA, Richmond VA, and Washington DC, and possibly a socioeconomical analysis. There will also be posts about related topics, namely Civil War women's history and Pennsylvania Civil War history.

National Archives Mid-Atlantic Division Online Exhibit: Blasting Through the Silence: Allegheny Arsenal Explosion and the Creation of Public Memory
Http://www.archives.gov/midatlantic/exhibits/allegheny-arsenal/
I am so excited that the Mid-Atlantic division of the National Archives in Philadelphia has put together this online exhibit about the Allegheny Arsenal explosion and its legacy. It is very well-done, and the painting at the beginning is especially striking. I still need to hit them up for primary sources about it one day. It presents sources that lets the reader be the judge about what caused the explosion.
