  • ADAH: Alabama Active Military Service Reports

    This collection consists of almost 79,000 home address report forms, which were sent to local Selective Service boards by Alabamians who enlisted in the armed forces from about 1940 to 1966. These reports provide details such as name, home address, branch of service, rank, service number, date of entry into service, race, gender, and date of birth. The amount of information varies on each card, but most include the subjects' signatures.

  • ADAH: Civil War Service Database

    Information in this database was compiled from a multitude of sources at the Alabama Department of Archives and History. Beginning in the early 1900s, the Archives staff read through muster rolls, newspapers, governors' records, veterans' censuses, and state pension records to create a card file that was arranged alphabetically by servicemen’s names. Each time a source was discovered, a new card was created; thus, an individual might have multiple cards. The records also include entries for slaves. Search for 'slave' in the surname field. The information on the cards was transcribed in this searchable database.

Also included here are the Deceased Alabama Confederate Soldiers' Files, which consist of certificates, correspondence, and final statements that provide details about the deaths of servicemen during the Civil War.
