Records of the Adjutant General's Office of the State of Kansas, 1856 - 1992.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/692348535

The agency's records consist of both original materials and microfilm copies of materials that were either retained in the State Archives or returned to the Adjutant General's Office. While there is some overlap between original and microfilmed materials (i.e., the State Archives may have both the originals and a microfilmed copy of those originals), the microfilmed copies are, by and large, materials that cannot be found in the original materials held in the Kansas State Archives. The records include muster rolls, payrolls (with regimental and company histories), rosters, descriptive rolls, clothing books, consolidated morning books (roll calls), enlistment papers, veterans benefits enrollment, and correspondence. They are organized by document type, within the appropriate Wartime and Peacetime subgroups.

Circa 400 cubic feet.
