Official Records on CD???

[SwampHunter]

I am looking to get the OR's on CD. It must be searchable and to where I can copy and paste the text.
I have been using eHistory's OR's and while it's a great site I can't search it like I want to. I am looking for something that I can search for by volume. Basically if I am looking for something that happened in and around Augusta I want it to be from a campaign that happened in and Augusta, AR and not Augusta, GA. I also want to be able to get more then just 300 hits if that exist in the campaign.
I am not sure if there is anything out there like this since I haven't used anything else but eHistory. I was told to get the Guild Prees ORs, but figured I would get more opinions. I am looking only to spend around $75.00. Also this will be used with Windows XP.

Any help is very appreciated.
Thanks!

Swamphunter:

Battalion's suggestion looks good, but I see no mention of copy and paste. There are a number of online sites others will recommend -- some with this advantage, some with another. Hope a few of the users will come up with an answer to your question. I'd like to have the copy/paste feature myself.

swamphunter,

You can find the OR on CD-ROM at amazon.com for only around $70.00. Look for the ones that say that they are in PDF format. I don't know about cut and paste abilities, but I am thinking that alot of the ones that are out there are going to be copies of the pages that are in the original volumes.

Hi Swamphunter,

You can search it by volume online:

I have the Guild Bindery Press version of the OR on CD. It's searchable and you can cut & paste text out of it and put in into a file.

You can? Will have to try that.

Is it easier to search the Guild Press version than it is to search the eHistory site?

Thanks!

There are at least 2 eBay sellers where you can get a an OR CD for less than $10. I got one for $9.20 plus $4.60 shipping.

It's got some highlighting and book marking features.

Of the online versions, I prefer the 'cut/pasteable' OSU version to the photocopy Cornell version.
