New York (State). Bureau of Records of the War of the Rebellion.

Laws of 1887 authorized the Adjutant General to "procure copies of all military records relating to New York volunteers in the war of the rebellion not on file in his office, from the proper departments of the general government." In addition, the Adjutant General was "to establish as part of his office a bureau of records of the war of the rebellion, in which all records in his office relating to said war and the records and relics of the bureau of military statistics shall be united and kept."

Although the exact date of the collation of these records is unknown, they were probably produced between 1887 and 1907, during the same period when the abstracts for men who served in New York Volunteer units, the United States Navy and Marine Corps, or State Militia were being compiled.
