I'm working to purchase the military and pension records of formerly enslaved Black men who enlisted with the 47th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry during the American Civil War. (These records have not yet been digitized by the National Archives.)

I've already obtained and digitized records for several of the men, but need help to finish the job. The cost is approx. $110 per soldier. Please donate whatever you can: https://www.gofundme.com/f/honor-9-black-soldiers-of-the-american-civil-war
