War of Rebellion, compilation of official records of
Union and Confederate armies [or Rebellion
records].      See W45.5:
[The War Records Office (W45.) was merged into the Record and Pension Office,
July 1, 1899. Previous to that time, of the total number of volumes of the Rebellion
records, 116 volumes, viz., serial numbers 1 to 118, had been published by the
War Records Office. The remaining 11 volumes and the general index were issued
by the Record and Pension Office. It has seemed wise not to divide the few last
volumes from the remainder of the set, hence, they are all entered under W45.5:]
War of Rebellion, compilation of official records of
Union and Confederate armies [or Rebellion
records], additions and corrections
[In 1902, the additions and corrections to the Official records which had been already
printed as a part of the General index, serial no. 130 (W45.5:130), wereissued by
the Record and Pension Office in 71 separate leaflets, one for each volume and one
each for the Atlas and General index, with such additional corrections as had been
discovered subsequent to the issuance of the 1st edition. These were printed and
plainly labeled "to be inserted in the volume" to which each belonged, consequently
no separate class is made for them as they are included with the volumes
entered under W45.5:, W45.7:, and W45.8: Since only one leaflet was issued for
each volume, the additions and corrections for all parts of a particular volume are
inserted in the first part.]
W41l. REFUGEES, FREEDMEN, AND ABANDONED LANDS
BUREAU
[A Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands, commonly known as the " Freedmen's Bureau,"
was created by Congress, Mar. 3, 1865, and Major-General Oliver Otis Howard was appointed commissioner.
The Bureau was to continue during the War of the Rebellion and one year thereafter. The
i period of its continuance was extended by Congress from time to time, until it was abolished, June 30,1872
and its work turned over to the Secretary of War, who placed it under control of the Adjutant-General of
the Army. Publications of the Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands Bureau, and of the
Freedmen's Branch, Adjutant-General's Office, are all classed here.
See, for investigation of this bureau by Howard Court of Inquiry, W10.6:H83.
See, for list of publications by Freedmen's Bureau, Bibliography of negro education, Education Bureau
report, 1894, v. 1 (116.11:894 ) p. 1040.
