The Compiled Service Records of volunteer Union soldiers were made by the United States Record
The Compiled Service Records of volunteer Union soldiers were made by the United States Record and Pension Division of the War Department, beginning in 1890. The Record and Pension Division made card abstracts from documents in the custody of the War Department and from muster, pay, and other rolls borrowed from the Second Auditor of the Treasury. In addition to the cards, original documents that related only to the individual soldier were included.  
and Pension Division of the War Department, beginning in 1890. The Record
and Pension Division made card abstracts from documents in the custody of the War Department and from muster, pay, and other rolls borrowed from the Second Auditor of the
Treasury. In addition to the cards, original documents that related only to the individual soldier were included.


Envelopes were made for each of the soldiers and card abstracts pertaining to that individual were placed inside along with original documents that related only to that individual. Service records may provide rank, unit, date of enlistment, length of service, age, place of birth, and date of death. Preceding the jacket-envelopes for the individual soldiers there are some envelopes containing record-of-events cards giving the stations, movements, or activities of the regiment.

For medical information about volunteer soldiers who fought in the Civil War, consult the National Archives series, "Carded Medical Records of Volunteer Soldiers in the Mexican and Civil Wars, compiled 1846 - 1865" found in [http://www.archives.gov/research/arc/ Record Group (RG) 94, Records of the Adjutant General's Office, 17862-1984, entry 534]. These cards relate to volunteers admitted to hospitals for treatment and may include information such as name; rank; organization; complaint; date of admission; hospital to which admitted; and date returned to duty, deserted, discharged, sent to general hospital, furloughed, or died. This series is arranged by state, thereunder by the number of the regiment (cavalry, infantry, and artillery are filed together under the common regiment number) and then by initial letter of surname.

The National Archives also maintains a textual record, entitled "Regular Army Enlistment Papers, 1798–1894" ([http://www.archives.gov/research/arc/ Record Group 94, entry 91]).&nbsp;This series is arranged alphabetically by name of soldier and generally shows the soldier's name, place of enlistment, date, by whom enlisted, age, place of birth, occupation, personal description, regimental assignment, and certifications of the examining surgeon and recruiting officer. Soldiers usually have multiple enlistment papers if they served two or more enlistments.

When researching Army officers, researchers should first consult Francis B.

Volume one ([http://books.google.com/books?id=iIUiAAAAMAAJ&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q&f=false Google Books]), a register of army officers, provides a brief history of each man's service. Volume two ([http://books.google.com/books?id=WoQiAAAAMAAJ&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q&f=false Google Books]) contains a "chronological list of battles, actions, etc., in which troops of the Regular Army have participated.
