 Thank you for posting your request on History Hub! 
 
 We searched the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System (CWSS) and located an entry for Keene, Henry . This database is based on the Indexes to the Carded Records of Soldiers Who Served in Volunteer Organizations During the Civil War , which in turn indexes the Carded Records Showing Military Service of Soldiers Who Fought in Volunteer Organizations During the American Civil War in the Records of the Adjutant General's Office, 1762 - 1917 (Record Group 94) . Some of these records have been digitized and are available using the Catalog. Unfortunately, the records for most Indiana Volunteers have not been microfilmed or digitized . 
 
 We also located the General Index to Civil War and Later Pension Files, ca. 1949 - ca. 1949 in the Records of the Department of Veterans Affairs (Record Group 15) that includes a pension index card for Henry Keene. We are attaching the card to the end of our response. The complete pension file which this card indexes has not been digitized and is not available online. 
 
 To order service and pension records that have not already been digitized, please fill out a NATF Form 86 for the service records and a NATF Form 85 for the pension records and mail the completed forms to the address listed on the form or submit your order via eservices.archives.gov . We suggest using online ordering to expedite your request as electronic orders will be received and entered into their system more quickly. Please include a copy of the index cards for the service and pension records respectively. For more information see Requesting Copies of Older (pre-WWI) Military Service Records . 
 
 We searched the National Archives Catalog and located the series Regimental and Company Books of Civil War Volunteer Union Organizations, 1861 - 1867 in the Records of the Adjutant General's Office, 1762 - 1917 (Record Group 94) that includes Regimental and Company Books of the 38th Indiana Infantry Regiment . See also Records Relating to Civil War Units for additional unit records. For more information about the non-digitized records, please email the National Archives in Washington, DC - Textual Reference (RR1R) at archives1reference@nara.gov . 
 
 We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
