National Personnel Records Center: Request Processing Procedural Documents & Guide

The National Personnel Records Center – a division of the US National Archives and Records Administration – describes itself as “a central repository of personnel-related records, both military and civil service.” It holds the records of all veterans who have served since 1917, medical records of all retirees from the military, medical records of military family members treated at military facilities, and the personnel files of separated federal employees (as far back as the mid-1800s). Every single day, the NPRC receives around 4,000 requests for military records.

Through a Freedom of Information Act request, Jim Klotz of CUFON obtained much of the NPRC’s internal rules and guides for processing records requests. He posted them here, and with his permission, The Memory Hole is mirroring them
