Published works include the biannual Antietam Journal along with individual books, such as Brigades of Antietam, Artillery of Antietam, and From Frederick to Sharpsburg.
In addition to print works, the Institute has also produced digital maps of the Battle of Antietam for use on smart phones and other devices and continues to produce short and long-form videos.
