The Applications and receipts records, 1867-1878, are arranged in five boxes, with miscellaneous materials arranged to the rear. Included are applications, certificates, correspondence, court oaths and testimonies, orders, postcards, and receipts detailing Virginia veterans efforts to obtain money and artificial limbs from the Board of Commissioners on Artificial Limbs. The records are arranged alphabetically by soldier's last name and each soldier's folder often includes a variety of records.

The applications were official forms that included information on which limb was amputated; whether it was in the field or hospital; the length of time between the injury and amputation; the nature of the operation whether flap or circular; present condition of the stump if it was healed or not; name of applicant and address; and name of company and regiment; and date, battle, or place where the wound was received. Similarly, the court oaths and testimonies included the name of the soldier, address, name of regiment, the nature of the injury, where the injury was received, and stating whether or not he had received a limb in the past. Sometimes a fellow soldier or commander also came forth to testify to the soldiers injury and service.

Also included are orders from the Board on Artificial Limbs instructing Dr. D. Bly to furnish the soldier with an artificial limb, whether an arm or leg, and certifying that the limb was given and fitted. Included are letters asking if a soldier would be eligible for a limb and often include more detailed descriptions of the injury and how it was affecting the soldier's life. Sometimes the letters were written by attorneys or other third parties who helped the soldiers complete their paperwork and receive a limb or money. Included are notes from doctors certifying that they had examined the soldier, stating their disability, and testifying to their inability to work due to the disability. Also included are receipts for money paid from the Auditor of Public Accounts to soldiers for their wounds.

Alphabetically by soldier's last name.

The Applications and receipts records, 1879-1890 (bulk 1882-1887), are arranged by year and then alphabetically by soldiers last names in twenty-five boxes. Included are applications, certificates, correspondence, court oaths and testimonies, orders, postcards, power of attorneys, and receipts detailing Virginia veterans efforts to obtain money for disabilities received during the Civil War.

The applications consist of either a printed form or court testimonies detailing the soldiers service and disabilities. Included is information on the soldiers unit, length of service, injury, place (location or battle) where the injury occurred, and attesting to their Virginia citizenship. Often included is testimony from doctors and fellow soldiers certifying to the soldiers injuries. Also included are form letters sent detailing the amount of money sent to the soldiers.

One box (Box 25a) consists of applications from the counties of Charles City and Mecklenburg, that for some reason had not been scanned or microfilmed. In 2017 the box was scanned, indexed, and added to the online database.

This Series was indexed, scanned, and is available on the Library of Virginia's online collection discovery system. The applications are searchable by the name of the Confederate veteran and by the veterans' places of residence (city or county).
