Monthly State Rosters of Officers and Civilians Employed by the Bureau — Personnel Records

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.

Two series of monthly rosters consist of officers and civilians employed by the Bureau. The State rosters, August 1865–April 1869, are arranged chronologically. Evidently compiled in the Assistant Commissioner's office from rosters submitted by subordinate officers, they are similar to those rosters in form and content. Each State roster covers all or most of the Bureau personnel in Arkansas and indicates names, ranks, stations, and duties of officers and civilians; numbers, sources, and dates of orders assigning officers; and rates of pay to civilians.
