The Master Edition of Official Records of the Union and Confederate Navies in the War of the Rebellion is the result of one year effort creating a DVD product that contains the entire Naval OR in both searchable and page perfect presentation. In this edition, every page looks exactly as it would if you opened a physical book. That means that all the images, tables and indexes are properly organized and easily readable - something that doesn't exist in most digital versions of the Naval OR. In most instances, the tables have been all jumbled by the process to convert the books to text - and any images are completely gone - but that is not the case in the Master Edition.

Product Details

The Master Edition of Official Records of the Union and Confederate Navies in the War of the Rebellion is the result of one year effort creating a DVD product that contains the entire Naval OR in both searchable and page perfect presentation. In this edition, every page looks exactly as it would if you opened a physical book. That means that all the images, tables and indexes are properly organized and easily readable - something that doesn't exist in most digital versions of the Naval OR. In most instances, the tables have been all jumbled by the process to convert the books to text - and any images are completely gone - but that is not the case in the Master Edition.

Here are some sample pages - including images and a table page to let you see exactly what you will find in the Master Edition Naval OR. (Note: Images have been shrunk to fit more nicely into the ad.) This format gives you the advantages you have with a book - i.e. exactly identical pages to the physical product - plus the ability to search the volumes.

As you can see, this table is fully understandable and useful. If you have looked at tables in other versions of the Naval OR (our low cost version included, it looks like a jumble of text because the normal page to text process does not know how to maintain table integrity.)

So if you are looking for a picture perfect Naval OR at a fraction of the cost of purchasing a text set, this is the collection you have been waiting for. Here are the full details of what is included in this DVD.
