Re: Camp Morton exchange records

Mr. Huling,

The CMSR's can be ordered from this web site or from the National Archives. You have two other options with the other material. You can go to the National Archives and research for yourself or hire a researcher to do it for you. These records are dozens of microfilm rolls and some of them are original records which will require you to get a researcher's card to handle the documents, etc, etc. You may be able to ask for assistance from Mr. Alan Pitts via the service on this web site using the CMSR link. He should be able to recommend a reliable researcher to check the sources your need.

If you plan on going to the National Archives, plan on two days at the Archives. They only pull original records about three or four times a day AND they will only pull original records after all other sources have been exhausted.

I hope this helps.

Respectfully,
