This series of records documents the military service of Union volunteer soldiers who served during the American Civil War. The records consist of jackets (folders) containing cards on which information relating to individuals, companies, and regiments of the Volunteer Service of the United States during the Civil War have been copied from original records such as muster rolls, returns, descriptive books, and morning reports. Personal papers consisting chiefly of enlistment papers, substitute certificates, casualty sheets, death reports, prisoner-of-war papers, and miscellaneous correspondence are filed either in the jacket with the carded records relating to the individual or alphabetically by soldier's name at the end of the file for each state. In many of the files there are index cards to the names appearing on regimental papers that are filed with the muster rolls.
