A series of guides on the Washington State and Territorial Militia entitled ''Washington National Guard Pamphlet'', by Virgil F. Field, was published in the 1960s by the Washington State Military Department, Office of the Adjutant General, at Camp Murray in Tacoma. This seven-volume work is an overview history of the Washington National Guard during the territorial period, Indian Wars, Civil War, Philippine Insurrection, World War I, World War II, and the post-World War II era. It is an excellent introduction to the Washington State or Territorial Militia.

The Washington State Archives has early service records for the Indian Wars, which include muster rolls, correspondence and financial records, as well as records of residents of the State Soldiers Home and State Veterans Home to the mid-1930s.
