The Civil War Institute at Gettysburg College has announced a new project called State of the Confederacy. According to the Civil War Institute:
This is a digital history project dedicated to mapping Confederate monuments in the United States. The site is organized into individual pages, examining single states and their Confederate monuments. The project is oriented towards answering two questions about Confederate monuments: when were they built, and to whom are they dedicated. This is a living project, and more maps will be added over time. First priority is given to the states of the former Confederacy, but the project will evolve to map Confederate monuments throughout the United States, and finally international statuary and memorials.
This interesting project has already produced a number of maps that should be of interest to many.
