Research

Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park does not have a public research library. The park staff maintains a reference collection of books and manuscripts related to the Shenandoah Valley, the Civil War and Battle of Cedar Creek, local history, and the development of the park.

Requests From Researchers

The park's reference materials are available only by written request. We are unable to undertake lengthy research investigations. Replies will take time.

When e-mailing your request, be as specific as possible about your project and the information you are looking for.

Genealogy

It is unlikely the park will have documents that you will find useful for genealogy research. The National Archives has resources for genealogy researchers.

To search an index of men who served in the Civil War, see the NPS Soldiers & Sailors Database.

Copies

Requests for copies of reference materials are limited to six requests per person per year and 30 pages per request.

We may refuse requests to reproduce materials because of poor condition, restricted use or conflict in ownership, or because they may be more easily obtained from other sources.
