These instructions will help you create links to selected images in the United States, Union Provost Marshal's File of Papers Relating to Civilians Historical Records collection.

Not all of the papers in this collection require links. You only need to provide link to papers identifed in the article African American Contraband Records.

Open two browser tabs or windows using these links: Instructions

 * 2) On the tab with the images the records are grouped by date and document number. Each of these corresponds to a digital folder of images.
 * 3) Find the description that contains the record number you need to add the link for.
