The reference and general collections of the Julia Rogers Library also contain rich materials of interest to the researcher studying women's lives during the Civil War era. Titles such as A Voice from the South by Anna Julia Cooper and Reminiscences of an Army Nurse During the Civil War by Adelaide W. Smith expand research opportunities in terms of numbers and perspectives.

The Civil War: a Newspaper Perspective is a CD-ROM that contains the full text of major articles from over 2500 issues of the New York Herald, Charleston Mercury and Richmond Enquirer from 1860 to 1865. One of the first articles related to women's activities shows up in the Charleston Mercury: it "respectfully and gratefully acknowledges the patriotic response of the ladies to the suggestion to supply bandages." Late in the war, the same newspaper printed a passionate appeal from the "many wives and mothers of Charleston" for renewed defense of that city.

A substantial number of books came to the Goucher Library in 1935 as the bequest of Sara Haardt Mencken '20. The old library accession records show that her collection was a varied one, reflecting many interests, including quite a large collection of Civil War materials. Mrs. Passano remembers as a student spending hours in the library looking at many of these books as they became part of the library collection.
