A Roster of North Carolina Troops in the War Between the States-- Part 2

The North Carolina Civil War Roster Project began  in 1961 (the Civil War Centennial) under the auspices of the North Carolina Confederate Centennial Commission and in 1965 was transferred to the State department of Archives and History, now the Division of Archives and History of the Department of Cultural Resources.

Its purpose is to publish histories of all North Carolina units raised during the war, as well as rosters containing the names and service records of members.  When completed, the series, entitled "North Carolina Troops, 1861-1865: A Roster", will comprise 17 individually indexed volumes, each providing histories and rosters of at least four regiments and service records of approximately 7,500 men.

An eighteenth volume, a master index, will give the names of approximately 130,000 North Carolina military personnel listed in "North Carolina Troops" and the volumes and pages on which their service records appear.
