Archives of Interest

Archives containing additional records pertaining to the draft riots are housed in different institutions. This is a pathfinder for some of the leading holdings.


The National Archives at New York City
Provost Marshal Records

The National Archives at New York City holdings include thousands of volumes from the Provost Marshall General’s Bureau. These records, which were transferred from Washington, DC to New York City in 2008, are an important, albeit untapped resource for Civil War scholars.
