Scope and Content:

Photograph album containing portraits of New Hampshire soldiers, their families (wives, children), and notable officers during the Civil War. Includes both carte-de-visite photographs and tintypes. The majority of images are identified, but only one image is dated 1865; the rest of the images are undated. Most of the images of New Hampshire soldiers are from the 1st New Hampshire Heavy Artillery. Due to the condition of the photograph album, it has been disassembled, but the images remain in the order in which they were found in the album. Any identifying notes in the album have been transcribed to the back of the images. While the images are numbered (1 to 97), there are gaps in the numbers as several images were missing from the album.
