Revolutionary War Pension File Transcription Project

Thank you for helping unlock history!
The National Archives Citizen Archivist program and the National Park Service are collaborating to transcribe Case
Files of Pension and Bounty-Land Warrant Applications Based on Revolutionary War Service, ca. 1800 - ca. 1912 in
celebration of the 250th anniversary of American Independence.
Did you know that military pension files may contain valuable details about family history? Within these rich
records, you may find evidence of letters, diaries, frakturs, embroidered family trees, family bibles, or even
