Some of the registers continue from volume to volume, while others are complete within a volume. In some registers, the entries for names of prisoners are numbered either within each letter of the alphabet or consecutively for the entire volume. In a few groups of registers the numbers continue under each letter of the alphabet from one volume to another. Some registers have two separate lists under each letter of the alphabet, one for officers and another for other prisoners. Many registers and other volumes include records of civilian and federal prisoners with those of Confederate prisoners, and a few volumes contain only names of federal prisoners.
Several volumes contain information relating only to paroled prisoners.
