    2. Listers: A good site. Lots of data. Marybeth Corrigall ====================== << News from ARIAS--Pennsylvania's Digital Archives Pennsylvania State Archives Records from the Mexican Border Conflict are now available online through ARIAS (Archives Records Information Access System) at www.digitalarchives.state.pa.us. These cards, bearing the title "Mexican Emergency, Call of President, June 18, 1916," contain the following information about veterans: name and rank, regiment and company, age and place of birth, a physical description (height, complexion, hair and eye color), date of commission or enlistment into service, home station and date of rendezvous, and date of acceptance into United States service. Additional remarks may indicate the date that the soldier's enlistment was to expire and the name and address of a person to be contacted in case of an emergency. All of the cards also bear a stamp indicating that a Mexican Service Medal was issued to the veteran, along with a corresponding number. Along with this latest addition to the online digital archives, records from the Revolutionary War, World War I and the Spanish-American War are also available.
