Overview

The "Digital Register of Confederate Treasury Notes 1861 - 1865" is composed of four volumes, which collectively cover the seven Issues of Treasury notes authorised by the Confederate Congress during its existence. These four volumes contain significant amounts of detail and collectively amount to over two thousand pages of information. The core financial data from Thian's Register of the Confederate Debt has been incorporated but in a simplified and more powerful manner, which reflects modern classifications such as Criswell Type. Errors found in Thian's original work have been corrected, and more than 40% of the missing data, primarily related to the Seventh Issue, has so far een reconstructed through the Author's ongoing research. Hopefully Mr. Thian would appreciate this.

Although Volume I (1861) and Volume II (1862) are materially complete and stable, the latter two volumes are subject to change as the Author's efforts  to reconstruct missing data continues. It is intended that an update to Volume III (1863) will be provided once per year to reflect the sporadic discovery of  missing April and November 1863 notes. However, the rate of discovery for previously undocumented Seventh Issue notes continues at a rapid pace, and the Author  plans to provide an update to Volume IV (1864)  once per quarter.

For these reasons, the Author feels that it would be impractical, costly, and restrictive to publish the Digital Register in paper form, and thus it will be delivered  in electronic format, one PDF file for each Volume. In order to help collectors better appreciate and leverage the wealth of information contained in these four volumes, a companion book has been developed by the Author, and this is available to purchase in paper form through Amazon's website. This book provides an overview of the database of Confederate Treasury notes and a history of the generations of numismatic research which have now been digitally encompassed within it. Navigational guides are provided for each Volume of the Digital Register, along with detailed financial, manufacturing, and other statistical information. For the larger and more complex Criswell Types, additional detailed insight is provided to assist collectors. 

Despite the considerable effort in producing them, the Author has decided not to charge collectors for the four volumes of the Digital Register (including any updates), and consequently these eBooks can be freely downloaded from this website. However, the Author hopes that collector's will purchase the companion book from Amazon, as this will help to support further research.
