Scott Hann Does HSP own a large collection of photographs of Civil War soldiers? If not, who does in Philadelphia? I'm only familiar with the extensive collection at the USMHI in Carlisle, PA

We have a sizeable collection of portraits (photo and engraving) of Philadelphia residents, and some photos of military groups from the nineteenth century, so if you are looking for specific soliders who came from the local area, HSP would be a good resource. However, if you need to survey a large number of photographs of Civil War soldiers, our collection would not be as useful. We often refer researchers to Carlisle.
