This paper studies the military records at the Sunagawa village office from the Meiji period（the volumes that record the details of soldiers that the government agencies requestedtobecollected）．It moves from studying records that were arranged without a table of contents to records that were arranged with a table of contents; it also studies how the records were classified on a case by case basis. Although, in 1892, because of wars like the Sino-Japanese War and Russo-Japanese War, the arrangement of the volumes was not ordered,this study will attempt to rearrange the records based on two viewpoints（1）: from an archival study viewpoint（that is, studying the technical understanding of rearranging documents），and（2）from a Japanese modern historical viewpoint. This study will present a framework to analyze the method of arranging these records during the unique period of the Sino-Japanese War and Russo-Japanese War.
