Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

The register of restoration orders is arranged chronologically by the date of restoration, and it corresponds to the unbound series of restoration orders that is arranged numerically, 1 – 123. Often filed with the restoration orders are the applications for restoration of property, correspondence, loyalty oaths, and other pertinent documents. A name index has been completed by the National Archives that indexes both series of applications for restoration of property and the restoration orders. To use the index the name of the petitioner, whether owner, lawyer, administrator, or institution, must be known. This index has been filmed before each of the series.
