This index, general in nature, is organized under seventeen larger topics:   Camp Nelson Slavery Slave Hiring Free Blacks Underground Railroad - Fugitives Post-Civil War Living Conditions Society \u26 Culture - Medical Care Professions - Employment Freedmen\u27s Bureau Civil Rights Politics Recreation Population Segregation- Changes in the 1890s Civil War Education Religion 
Under these general headings, there are numerous subtopics. The research notes are numbered and presented in numerical order, and they are searchable by note numbers, names, dates, events, and topics (occasional hand-written numbers may not appear in searches). There are no missing notes, but there are occasional missing numbers, especially near the end of the research notes. The areas of missing numbers are between notes 4099 and 5000 (the largest group), between 6325-A and 6412, between 7148-D and 7158, and between 7328-B and 7379. My hope is that historians at all levels interested in African American history will find my research notes helpful in their research.
