There was a recent post asking about this.  Here is some additional info:

Bad news and good news.  The bad news is that the famed website cwartillery.org is no more. The good news is that the core information - if not the lively, efficient design - is still available online.

Unfortunately, original author Chuck Ten Brink can no longer maintain the site, but he has passed the material to the care of the Robinson Artillery.  It begins on their Civil War Artillery page.

Chuck first put his work on the subject on the Web in 1996, and has been thereafter the go-to guy for many of us on terminology, equipment details, guns and artillerists, and (in partnership with Wayne Stark) the Civil War Artillery Encyclopedia and the National Register of Surviving Civil War Artillery (sample: Antietam’s page c. 1998).

I’ll very much miss the old site, but say Hurrah, Chuck, for your long online service!


The above is from a blog.  It looks like the gun data begins here.

Thanks for that update!

I was one of the ones inquiring about the status of the cwartillery.org website. Sorry to hear the original site is down, but I'm glad that the information is still accessible.

I know that Robinson's (Artillery) Battery will do a good job.

Maybe the links in the stickies for this should be updated.
