If you are inquiring from the office of a member of Congress, please direct your question to the Office of Congressional Legislative Liaison (OCLL) rather than directly to the US Army Center of Military History. Thank you. |
Before you call or write the Center of Military History regarding a historical inquiry, please follow these simple procedures in order to expedite your research:
1. Review the entire Master List of Army Records to see where the information you are looking for is held. |
|
2. If you think the document is held by CMH, go into the research tools area and see if it is listed in one of the finding aids we have posted. |
|
3. Check the Army History Frequently Asked Questions Page to see if we have posted an answer to your question. |
|
4. Check the Online Bookshelves area of the site to see if you can glean the information from some of the reference materials we have posted. |
|
5. If you are trying to locate a living veteran, or a Veterans' group, please contact the Department of Veteran's Affairs. |

After following this procedure, first speak to a local reference librarian for assistance. Many of the most basic questions about the U.S. Army can be answered with standard reference materials or by requesting specialized literature through interlibrary loan. Local libraries are one of our nation's most valuable resources and should be the first stop for anyone interested in pursuing research in military history.
