Researching US Sanitary Commission?

[Bruce Vail]

Does anybody know whether it is possible to search US Sanitary Commission records on line, particularly employment records of the Commission's civilian workers?

I dont know but they did a hell of a job after 1862 in knocking down disease.

I don't know of any being online as I searched before for them.

This is the best I can assist with. It's a PDF finding aid from the New York Library.

Tons of wonderful feedback here, very helpful- and gosh, so, so, so many civilian workers? It was massive. I have seen specific organizations, like Philadelphia's, list civilians working on their fair. If you're looking for nurses or medical relief workers, maybe look for specific battles, under the heading Sanitary Commission, on Hathitrust? Internet Archives should have a ton, too?
