Event Education-Civil War Medical Records

Civil War Medical Records by Craig Scott

The Civil War medical records provide a rich but elusive source of genealogical information.  Finding aids for medical records, which contain genealogical information, are not usually available.  This lecture will provide an overview of those records created during and after the Civil War that provide information about soldiers on both sides of the war.
