Did you know that April 12th will mark the Civil War sesquicentennial?  Did you know that we have over 23 cubic feet of original records, 140 rolls of microfilm, and approximately 60 photographs relating to Delaware Union troops?

 In preparation for the anniversary, with the help of our sister agency the Government Information Center, we are going to digitize and make available on our website all of our Civil War holdings. 

 The records include diaries of soldiers, clothing books, muster rolls, company memorials, newspapers, and pension records for the Delaware Union soldiers.

This information will be a joy to genealogists and military historians.

 To learn about the records in our holdings regarding the Civil War, look at our guide to our Civil War records.

 To see a sampling of the documents we, have you can visit our Civil War exhibit in the Digital Archives.
