This may well be a place to find where those medical records are located, or at least give you a possibility of where to look. Rhonda Houston http://www.armymedicine.army.mil/history/booksdocs/civil/gillett2/amedd_1818 -1865_chpt2.htm The National Archives in Washington, D.C., and the National Library of Medicine in Bethesda, Maryland, hold a majority of the manuscripts and other unpublished material used in the research for The Army Medical Department, 1818-1865. As always in this series on the history of the Army Medical Department, the Records of the Office of the Surgeon General, Record Group (RG 112), and particularly the letters to and from the Surgeon General, have been invaluable. Other important material in the National Archives is contained in the Records of the Adjutant General (RG 94), the Records of the Inspector General (RG 159), the Records of the Judge Advocate General (RG 153), and the Records of the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands (RG 105). The National Library of Medicine collections include a wealth of correspondence, diaries, reports, orders, and similar material, both printed and unprinted, originating with the Surgeon General's Office, individual surgeons, individual hospitals, and the U.S. Sanitary Commission. Other repositories consulted for this volume include the New York Academy of Medicine, which holds the Nathan Jarvis papers, the Library of Congress, where there is a small collection of the papers of such surgeons as Benjamin King and Thomas Lawson, and the U.S. National Museum, better known as the Smithsonian Institution, which holds the papers that resulted from the work of various surgeons who gathered data and specimens for the Smithsonian. 8.
