The United States Sanitary Commission's Hospital Directory collected
and recorded information concerning the location of sick, wounded
and missing soldiers for the benefit of their families and friends.
The Washington Hospital Directory Archives records contain over
9,000 inquiry files dating from 1862-1865 concerning soldiers and
other
individuals. Although most of the files refer to state volunteer
soldiers, there are also inquiries for U.S. Army regulars, U.S.
Colored Troops, Navy and Marine servicemen, Confederates, government
and
USSC employees, hospital staff and civilians.
Please note: this database provides keyword access to the files.
The contents of the original files have not been digitized and are
not available on the internet. However, sample documents from the
