    1. Old records out of Bemerton WA Navy Base
    2. Where do I write to find out about records of Bremerton Navy Base? Anything past thirty years old is kept in another location but where? I was told they only keep records for ten years and then send them to storage but where? I am looking for records of civilian employees.

They usually are 50 to 75 yrs old before they go to the archives (NARA). The NARA for this area is on Sandpoint Way in Seattle. They probably can tell you where to find 30 yr old records.

All personnel records for civilians are kept for use by the employing agency. If a civilian transfers to another agency, the records follow the employee to that agency. When a civilian resigns or retires, the records go to the National OPM personnel record center in St. Louis, Missouri. Base records are also sent on to the National centers; depending on retention values. The base historians office can identify certain history items; but they have little if none on persons.
