I have read several older posts concerning this subject, but failed to see what I view as a possible solution. I have several pension files, both of the soldier and his widow, ordered by mail from NARA. As noted in the other posts, no documentation was included. Yes, you can cite the index, but this doesn't provide the details of where the file itself is located. Would it not be acceptable practice to cite these copies as an "artifact", in my possession, with a note describing when and where they were obtained?
