What's New At Military Research Service?

(Note: All the below additions are now included in the various indices. Refer to main photocopy index.)

  Update as of 7/26/2024: new

Since no longer accepting orders in January 2023, MRS has received many requests for documents in our collection. MRS is still not taking orders, but ... we may be able to assist you in obtaining the documents in our collection. Please contact MRS at How to Contact MRS to inquire about how to obtain documents of if you have questions.


Update as of 1/6/2023: 

After much research/deliberation and with heavy hearts we are sorry to announce that Military Research Service will be no longer be taking orders. Increasing costs/complexity have made our service uneconomical for the amount of business MRS performs. To our past many customers we say "Thank you" for your business.

During 2021 and 2022 MRS sent 1-3 free documents to many interested persons who contacted us. We hope you have enjoyed them.

MRS freebies will continue to be available on our website and additional freebies will be added from time to time.

Please note: The link to our Ordering Instructions is no longer available. The Photocopy Index will remain available purely as a historical reference.

Please do not mail nor e-mail any orders to MRS. They will not be filled.  All personal checks/money orders included in these orders will be destroyed and will not be returned to the customer.

Please contact MRS at How to Contact MRS if you have questions.


Update as of 11/25/2020:

Military Research Service is not taking orders until further notice. MRS is converting from a mailed hard copy only business to an email electronic copy only business. In the future all orders will be emailed to the customer in the form of pdf (or similar type) documents. Future payments will be made via an electronic system (PayPal or some similar type). The good news is that customers all over the world will be accommodated. MRS asks for your patience while we make this transition. It is planned to complete this transition in 2021. In the meantime please contact MRS at How to Contact MRS if you have questions.

MRS is willing to electronically send a few items (say 1 to 3 small items per customer) for free (or for a small charge as determined by MRS solely) during this transition period. Please contact us for details in advance.

Unless specifically agreed upon by MRS in advance, any mail in orders received during this transition period will not be processed. All personal checks/money orders included in these orders will be destroyed and will not be returned to the customer.
