Old CSA Reference Library

The Old CSA Reference Library served for almost 20 years as an informational home for CSA & Club officers on a variety of topics. One of the more important parts was Volume II - Medals and Awards of the CSA & ACWGC, which served as the official compendium of the awards & honor for the various CSA Field Armies, until the current system was developed in 2021 & finalized in 2025. The Old Library now serves as a snapshot in time for the CSA & Club's history and allows the ability to locate various historical information of the Club, including the various medals, awards & ribbons that were issued in the past.
