Hi all. Could someone confirm how many Volumes are in the Official Records ? I've been downloading the various volumes of the "The War of the rebellion: a compilation of the official records of the Union and Confederate armies" and came across two Index Volumes – one General and a Battles index. Are there any others? And is there an Atlas Volume? Thanks Cliff |

There are 128 volumes numbered 1 to 130, There is no volume 112 or 113. Volume 130 is the index. Vol. 129 is the end of Series IV. Vol 3 on Confederate Correspondence. There is a companion atlas. It is an oversized book and is not part of the OR. There is also "A User's Guide to the Official Records of the American War" by Alan and Barbara Aimone. |

Ok, now I'm a bit confused. I checked my downloaded files. I have 'Books' 1 thru 129 (112 & 113 not actually published) Book 130 is the General Index: link So what is this other Index? link Cliff |

A prequel, I believe. The set was originally entitled "The War of the Rebellion Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies" which is the title of the book in your second link. At some point the titled was changed to "The War of the Rebellion A COMPILATION of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies" which is the title of the book in your first link. Perhaps this index information was going to be a part of unpublished volumes 112 and 113. The National Archives might be able to help you out. |
