Handbook for Researching Missing-In-Action Cases: 1941-1960

Abstract

This handbook consists of a directory of National Archives and military repositories that contain holdings relevant to the investigation of missing-in-action cases dating from the period between 1941 and 1960. The facilities listed in this directory may contain information relative to missing- in-action cases from other periods, but there has been no attempt to duplicate the efforts of the POW/MIA Affairs office to compile information concerning the Southeast Asian War. For each facility, the handbook provides a description that includes the name, address, telephone number, and point of contact as well as a brief description of relevant holdings. There are three appendixes to the handbook: suggested research methodologies (Appendix A); a glossary of commonly encountered acronyms (Appendix B); and a chronological list of MIA-related directives from the War Department issued between 1942 and 1947 (Appendix C).
