Specializing in the Civil War's impact and legacy, in 1997 Ayers helped found and served as its first Director the Virginia Center for Digital History.  He also oversaw the  Valley of the Shadow project, popular with both historians and the general public.  Ayres received a Bancroft Prize for Distinguished Book in American History and was nominated by a Pulitzer Prize and a National Book Award.  His most recent book is American on the Eve of the Civil War, edited with Carolyn Martin.
