On July 12, 1973, a disastrous fire at NPRC(MPR) destroyed approximately 16-18 million Official Military Personnel Files. The affected record collections are described below.
No duplicate copies of the records that were destroyed in the fire were
maintained, nor was a microfilm copy ever produced. There were no indexes
created prior to the fire. In addition, millions of documents had been lent to
the Department of Veterans Affairs before the fire occurred. Therefore, a
complete listing of the records that were lost is not available.
Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 3:45p.m. The Military Personnel Records (MPR) facility of the National Personnel
Records Center (NPRC) is located in the St. Louis suburb of Overland, MO, about
10 miles west-northwest of the Gateway Arch. From Interstate 170 take Page Avenue west for a mile, and turn left into the
Federal Records Center (FRC) complex at the Spencer Avenue traffic light. From
Interstate 270 take Page Avenue east for four miles and turn right at the
Spencer Avenue traffic light. The Guard at the gate will provide further
information about parking and building entry. Our research room is located at
the east end of Building 100.
The National Personnel Records Center, Military Personnel Records (NPRC-MPR),
shares the FRC complex with the U.S. Army, which administers its reserve
components from this site. MPR offices and records storage areas are all located
in the larger of the two main buildings, a 5-story structure which opened in
1955 and covers nearly 5 acres. The Army occupies part of this building and all
of the adjacent office building, which opened in 1990. David L. Petree, Director, (314) 538-4201 FAX Request number: (314) 538-4175
Requesters may FAX a written request (signed and dated) to this number. The
center will respond in writing by U.S. Mail.
No requests for military personnel records or information from them will be
accepted at the E-Mail address below.
