Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolutionary War is a compilation of service records for all Massachusetts men who are documented to have performed war service between 1775 and 1783. The task of compiling its 17 volumes was begun as a result of the General Court’s 1891 legislation calling for an indexed list of Revolutionary War service. The work commenced that same year and the volumes were successively published between 1896 and 1908. The result was approximately 688,000 entries.

Each CD is truly a reference BONANZA to the home historian with thousands of pages of research information. The age of most of these text make them inaccessible to the average researcher. Naturally their scarcity and fragility makes them very expensive to acquire hence often kept under lock and key in an effort to preserve them. Unfortunately this also makes them unavailable for public view. Our CDs are produced by scanning the actual pages of the original text making them not only excellent resources but archival copies available for future generations. If you could find a hard copy of any of these books it would cost hundreds of dollars - individually worth many times the cost of a CD.
