    Abstract: We need to obtain specific information from researchers 
who wish to request copies of these records, in order to search for the 
specific records they seek and to handle their order and payment for 
copies of the records. We use these standardized forms as the means of 
collecting the needed information so that we can handle the volume of 
requests we receive for these records in a timely fashion. Researchers 
provide credit card information to authorize billing or request 
expedited mailing of the copies. They may use paper or electronic 
versions of the forms, or may fill them out and order online through 
our Order Online! service at http://www.archives.gov/research_room/obtain_copies/military_and_genealogy_order_forms.html.
