Seeking burial sites for Confederate soldiers who died in Richmond hospitals

Dear Ms. Ewing,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog for burial records of the Confederacy and located Confederate Manuscripts (documenting 1861 - 1865) in the War Department Collection of Confederate Records (Record Group 109) that includes some lists of burials, however the Catalog description does not specify which organizations or locations are covered by these records. For more information about these records and other Confederate records in NARA custody, please contact the National Archives at Washington, DC - Textual Reference (RDTI) via email at archives1reference@nara.gov.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and pursuant to guidance received from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), NARA has adjusted its normal operations to balance the need of completing its mission-critical work while also adhering to the recommended social distancing for the safety of NARA staff. As a result of this re-prioritization of activities, you may experience a delay in receiving an initial acknowledgement as well as a substantive response to your reference request from RDT1. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your understanding and patience.
