I wrote to <inquire@nara.gov> to find out the cost of ordering paper copies of the Civil War documents. I received this back from them: Hello, The current cost for military service records is $17.00. Pension files have gone up as well: $37.00 for the complete file, or $14.75 for a pension documents packet (a selection of documents from the file). The cost has really gone up. I use to order copies for just $10.00 and would receive quite a lot. Roberta Iiames
