Subject: [CASANJOA] Clarification - Costs for WWI draft card copies from NARA - Southwest Region
Date: Thu, 26 Aug 1999 06:18:51 -0700


In July, 1997 NARA established an updated fee schedule for
services provided to the public. The minimum mail-order fee for
photocopies for each WWI Draft card was increased from $6.00 to
$10.00, a fee which includes both sides of the card. Patrons
need not request that both sides of the card be copied, and
patrons need not submit a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE)
with their request.

Walk-in customers can make self-service photocopies of the
original records for $0.10 per side. Please contact individual
regions for their policies regarding microfilm copies. These
fees are copying fees only; there is no charge for searches
when a record is not located.

**At a minimum, the following information is required from the
requestor for NARA staff to conduct a search for draft
registration cards:

o Full name of registrant
o Complete home address at the time of registration
(to include county)
o Name of nearest relative

Additional information, if known, which can improve the
thoroughness of a search includes:

o Birth date
o Birthplace
o Occupation of registrant

NARA, Southeast Region, has provided a request form for these
records for a number of years. The forms can be ordered via e-mail
(), telephone (404-763-7383), or in writing
(NARA, Southeast Region, 1557 St. Joseph Avenue, East Point, GA
30344).
