The Civil War News & Views Open Discussion Forum

For those researchers who do not know

The National Archives is quietly making high resolution downloads of their raw records for free.
The only issue is their search engine is very hard to master. A large part of the problem is the lack of quality tags on the information.
You can create an account and add information to the raw records to make them relevant to historians looking for them.
The Civil War records available are growing.

Raw records of select Confederate companies are available.

Daily Reports
Company Reports
Uniform issues
Ammunition inventories

are just some of the raw records.

For an example go to the link below and see unavailable and available records for Mississippi.
Scroll to the bottom to go to the next page to see even more available records.
Go to the top and change Mississippi to say Texas and search for whats available under that word.
This is a growing free resource. I have found enough to keep me busy for the rest of my life
