As soon as Pierce County became available, they were brought in permanently to the Family History Center in Sumner. You might want to check the Family History Library Catalog for other military listings available. They are actively collecting them. Carolyn >> Pat, Here is the listing in the book titled "Guide to Records in the National Archives-Pacific Northwest Region, 1994" (Sandpoint) Record Group 147 Records of the Selective Service System Records Description Dates: 1940-1947 Volume: 105 cubic feet Records of the Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington State Headquarters offices. The records include registration cards for men born between April 1877 and February 1897 (4th Draft Registration under the 1940 Act); Alien's Personal History and Statement (DSS Form 304); and Statements of U.S. Citizens of Japanese Ancestry (DSS Form 304-A). Record Group 163 Records of the Selective Service System (World War I) Records Description: Dates: 1917-1919 Volume: 28 cubic feet Records of local and districe boards in Idaho, Oregon and Washington. The records relate to men ordered to report to local induction boards; delinquents; deserters; and appeals to the President for deferments. Included are letters of appeal, indexes, and lists. There is also an Administrative History section in the book about the Selective Service records if you want me to list that also. It tells a little about the induction rules and the agencies involved. Hope this helps... Cheryl
