"On the 225 rolls of this microfilm publication are reproduced the compiled records that give the military service histories of units in volunteer Union organizations. The compiled records are card abstracts containing information relating to the stations, movements, or activities of each unit or a part of it, and frequently to its organization or composition, strength and losses, and disbandment. Sometimes the names of commanding officers, the dates the unit was called into service and mustered out, the terms of service, and similar information are included.
"The compilation of records of service by military units of volunteer
Union organizations was undertaken simultaneously with the compilation of the
service records of volunteer Union soldiers. The work was begun in 1890 under
the direction of Capt. Fred C. Ainsworth, head of the Record and Pension Division
of the War Department. The abstracts were made from original muster rolls and
returns in the custody of the War Department and from rolls borrowed from the
Second Auditor of the Treasury. The abstracts made from the original records
were verified by a separate operation of comparison, and great care was taken
to ensure that the abstracts were accurate.
"Most of the compiled records reproduced on this microcopy are arranged
alphabetically by State or territory. The remainder are for units that were
not limited to any one State or Territory; among them are the U.S. Colored Troops,
U.S. Volunteers, and U.S. Veteran Reserve Corps. The records are further arranged
by organizational breakdown under each unit.
"Most of the compiled records for each organizational unit are in jacket-envelopes bearing the title “Record of Events” and giving the name of the unit. Many of the cards contain abstracts of the record-of-events information as found in original muster rolls and returns. Also included are some cards showing the exact captions of the muster-in and muster-out rolls that were copied and the certifications by the mustering officers verifying the accuracy of the rolls. The jacket-envelopes for a few units contain no documents but do contain references to other units with which these units were merged. In some instances the references concern transfers of documents.
"Preceding the jacket-envelopes for the organization units there sometimes are envelopes containing general notation cards giving information relating to the units. Some of the notations are statements of determinations made by the War Department concerning the service of the units; other contain information that was found in original records other than muster rolls and returns.
"There are some card abstracts made from returns that are not in jacket-envelopes. These abstracts were accumulated by the War Department to be interfiled with the regular abstracts but were not interfiled, for one reason or another. The usual reason was that the abstracts made from returns were compiled later than those from muster rolls and in some cases the War Department failed to complete the filing of them. The national Archives has collected all the unjacketed abstracts that could be found for each unit and has filed them immediately after the jacket-envelope containing related abstracts for the Unit. A card labeled “Additional Card Abstracts of Records” has been placed at the beginning of each set of unjacketed abstracts to distinguish them from the ones that are in jacket-envelopes.
"The National Archives also has compiled service records of the volunteer
Union soldiers who served in the units whose service histories are reproduced
in this microcopy. They consist of a jacket-envelope for each soldier, labeled
with his name, his rank, and the unit in which he served and typically containing
(1) card abstracts of entries relating to the soldier as found not only in original
muster rolls and returns but in other original records such as hospital rolls,
descriptive books, and lists of deserters; and (2) the originals of any papers
relating solely to the particular soldier. In a few instances there are compiled
service records for volunteer Union soldiers who served in units for which there
are neither record-of-events nor general notation cards; consequently, there
is no record of such units in this microcopy. These units generally served only
for short periods (about 1 to 3 months) or failed to achieve a complete organization.
There are card indexes that may be used to locate the compiled service record
of a volunteer Union soldier. Most of the indexes and some of the compiled service
records of volunteer Union soldiers have been microfilmed.

availalble at footnote.com]
"The compiled records showing the service histories of units in volunteer Union organizations reproduced in this microcopy, the compiled service records of volunteer Union soldiers, and the indexes to the latter are part of Record Group 94, Records of the Adjutant General’s Office."
