UNIT HISTORY: PAGE 2 A brief history from founding to today.
The Society for the Historical Preservation of the
Fourteenth Brooklyn (84th New York Infantry) is a non-profit, educational and historical
corporation of the State of New Jersey. We have been granted tax exempt status by the
United States government. Membership is not restricted to the State of New Jersey as we
have organizational members internationally. As the name implies we are a society with two
active branches. These are a historical society and an active, uniformed reenactment
organization. First is:
This is the command and control element of our organization which maintains our Board of Directors
and Trustees. The Society is a functioning historical society and is involved in aiding and
assisting in the preservation of not only surviving physical relics of the 14th Regiment, New York
State Militia, but textual and photographic information as well.
Society members include lineal descendents of Civil War era 14th Brooklyn soldiers, active and
retired members from the many military commands with lineage to the original 14th plus students,
scholars, professional and amateur historians as well as members of the general public with an
interest in the 14th Regiment New York State Militia Infantry.
We are very pleased to have had direct membership participation in the reprint of our regimental
history. Society members supplied many of the new and unpublished images of 14th Regiment NYSM
soldiers for the new photographic section of this reprint.

Company C is our society's uniformed reenactment organization. It is comprised of
many members of the society as well as individuals solely interested in reenacting. Since Company
C maintains an active Civil War reenactment schedule in this area of the country,
the greatest percentage of the company members are from the Eastern states.
Company C prides itself on the accuracy of it's reproduction uniforms!
Please go to PAGE THREE for specifics and in-depth
information on our uniforms and equipment.
Company C collaborates with all reactivated 14th Brooklyn organizations
but is most proud to note that we are the FIRST and ORIGINAL reactivated 14th New York State
Militia organization. We are still going strong with twenty-four years of successful
reenactment and living history programs to our credit! We must be doing something right!
