Affiliated with the Civil War
Round Table Associates in the U.S., the ONCCWRT is an independent
group which meets monthly to discuss
and study various aspects of the U.S. Civil War. Members are
military and civilian, professional and
amateur historians, united by a desire to further their
understanding of one of the most
tumultuous eras in the history of the world.
Meetings are normally two hours or so and consist of a presentation given by a
member of the group
or a guest, followed by a discussion
period. Various themes are explored and cover a broad range of
topics and approaches.
No special knowledge is needed to participate! Part of the allure is the
learning, along with good
companionship.
We meet the last
Thursday of each month, except for June, July, and December at the
Army Officers' Mess, 149 Somerset St., West, Ottawa, Ontario
Meetings begin at 07:30 PM, however, members seem to
gather at little earlier for informal chit-chat.
The text of some
presentations (when available)
will be published along with schedules
for future topics as work on this site progresses.
We are a "work in progress", a living
document. We are continually 
.
Currently, there
is a project
proposal before the members of the Round Table with the aim of
memorializing individual Canadian participants in the American
Civil War
who joined either the Confederate or Union armies.
I will be
updating this site on a regular basis. Please come back to see what is
new. If you find some of the links are not functioning send me an eMail
and let me know. I would greatly appreciate that.
