Photographs include cartes-de-visite, cabinet cards, cyanotypes, and albumen prints affixed to paper. Many have biographical notes or regimental history written on the back, or clippings from newspapers adhered next to the photograph on board. Sitters are in uniform and in civilian clothes. Includes portraits taken into the 1890s. There are no images of General Robert E. Lee or James Longstreet. There are occasionally portraits of Confederate sympathizers, such as Mary E. Surratt.
