The Civil War: Letters From the Front

Welcome. This is a collaborative undertaking to make available the many letters from Union soldiers that exist in the Widows' Certificates pension files at the US National Archives. For a complete description, please see the "Project Proposal" page. If you would like to contribute, please read the instruction page and contact the administrator for more information.

File List

Here you can find a list of files that contain letters. They have been found through prep at the CWCC, but they have not been digitized for this project. If you are at the National Archives, you can request these files in the research room and take your own images to post here. Please contact me if you have any file numbers to add to the list, or if you have posted images of any file numbers, so that I can remove them from this list. Thanks!
