Confederate States of America Navy records 1863-1865, 1930s

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/76065674

There are vouchers, invoices, returns and accounts of provisions, medical supplies, clothing, contingents, small stores, salaries, and submarine defense. Included are some letters, orders, requisitions, and receipts. Some of these records pertain to vessels other than those named above. Three publications of the CS Navy (Confederate imprints of which one is a unique copy) are in the collection. The papers were arranged by W.P.A. workers in the 1930s, probably in the original order which would account for the package designation. A card-file index, also prepared by W.P. A. workers, is filed alongside the collection. It consists of an alphabetical list of names with service records on each card, alphabetical list of transfers from CSA to CSN, lists of vessels, merchants, survivors, etc. Three of the five boxes have been moved to MS 169, as they pertained to the army. Lists of the contents of each package are in the folder of Descriptive Materials in the front of the box.

3 boxes (1.0 cubic feet)
