ARIAS has Arrived at the PA State Archives



Fellow Archivists:
        I was asked by Frank Suran, PA State Archivist, to share this with you:

Check the Pennsylvania State Archives web site (part of the larger
Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission website) at
http://www.phmc.state.pa.us for a new feature, ARIAS-the Archives
Records Information Access System.  Currently, ARIAS offers 200,000
images of military service cards relating to the participation of
Pennsylvanians in the Revolutionary War, Spanish-American War and World
War 1. In addition, 300,000 Civil War and Mexican Border Campaign
service card images are being loaded into the
system and will be available within the coming year. Eventually,
millions of records at the State Archives, ranging from 19th century
county birth, death and marriage dockets to collections of photographs,
will be digitized and available on the PHMC website.
        Any questions, comments, etc. should go to the PHMC web manager at
<RA-PHMC-webmaster@phmc.state.pa.us>
