One need not reinvent the wheel when researching. Bibliographies are a handy way to find relevant books. As I research the action of June 22, 1864, where three brigades under Mahone routed three divisions of the Federal Second Corps, I'm looking at a number of published annotated bibliographies to speed my research.
Of course there's Dornbusch's Military Bibliography of the Civil War.
There are also two annotated bibliographies covering the period from 1955 to 1996 by Garold Cole.
Then there is an Alabama bibliography online at https://sites.google.com/site/kenj680/home/albiblio
There are digital state archives guides at http://www.digitalstatearchives.com/
There's the index to manuscripts at the Library of Congress. http://lcweb2.loc.gov/service/gdc/scd0001/2004/20040324001cw/20040324001cw.pdf
There's a guide to manuscripts of Georgia. https://books.google.com/books?id=ryu00_YxdRcC&pg=PA256&lpg=PA256&dq=elbert+willett+diary&source=bl&ots=YJTczX_xBU&sig=z1P15nkmzo0QNoRCFpibqXS7WKI&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjD3NC6pZLMAhUsuIMKHQ3wCLwQ6AEIJDAB#v=onepage&q=elbert%20willett%20diary&f=false
There are many other bibliographies available, I'm sure. Google them!
