The National Archives has been uploading scanned copies of US Army morning reports from 1940-1946 to their catalog (NAID 85713825). These reports are some of the only unit records that describe who was in an army unit at any given time, and are important records in rebuilding WWII veteran's records that were destroyed in the 1973 NPRC fire. I was wondering if there were any current projects on backing this data up to the internet archive, or some similar site? There's quite a bit, however, to my knowledge this is the only (mostly) complete copy available online outside of the NPRC reading room. If there is a project ongoing, how could I help in backing up these important genealogical files?
