This collection includes 42 million records of men who registered with the Selective Service System during and immediately following World War II, between 1940 and 1947. The records span multiple draft registration rounds and include men aged 18 to 64 across 33 states and D.C., offering personal details like addresses, occupations, next of kin, and even physical descriptions. This collection was indexed using cutting-edge AI technology developed by our Machine Learning team, which was able to automatically and accurately extract handwritten information from the draft cards.
