ARMY RECORDS AT THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES:
REVOLUTIONARY WAR TO THE EARLY 20th CENTURY
A STGS MEMBERS BENEFIT!
ANNOUNCING THE FOURTEENTH WEBINAR OF
THE ST. TAMMANY GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 2023 – ONLINE!
ARMY RECORDS AT THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES:
REVOLUTIONARY WAR TO THE
EARLY 20th CENTURY
with John Deeben
The National Archives Building (Archives 1) in Washington, DC houses the military records of the United States Army from the Revolutionary War up until 1917, just before World War I, as well as some records for service in the Confederate Army. This period of time is known as the “Old Military” period. Records from this period are characterized by two main types of military service: volunteer service (state regiments and militia) and regular military. The speaker, John Deeben, will present a general overview of Army records held at Archives 1, highlighting how the different types of service are characterized and the basic records common to both.
John P. Deeben is a military archivist with the Archives I Reference Branch (RR1R), and has been with the National Archives and Records Administration in Washington, DC, since 2003. John provides reference assistance for Old Army records, and has lectured and written about federal records of genealogical interest. He has spoken to various national and local groups, including the National Genealogical Society (NGS), Federation of Genealogical Societies (FGS), and the Genealogical Institute on Federal Records (Gen-Fed). John holds B.A. and M.A. degrees in American history from Gettysburg College (1987) and The Pennsylvania State University (1990).
