国家档案馆11月10日办线上论坛：多机构专家讲解如何查阅退伍军人档案
美国国家档案馆将于11月10日下午1时至3时（美东时间）举办线上论坛「查阅退伍军人档案：多机构论坛」，由该馆政府信息服务办公室（OGIS）主办，并通过国家档案馆的YouTube频道直播，公众可免费观看。
论坛将汇集多家联邦机构的档案专家，逐一说明各自机构保存哪些退伍军人和军人服役档案、公众应如何申请调阅，以及申请过程中最常见的误解。已确认的讲者包括战争部信息自由法事务主管弗吉尼亚·伯克（Virginia E. Burke），以及国家人事档案中心的代表——该中心保管着数千万份军人人事档案，是退伍军人及其家属查询服役记录最常打交道的机构。
退伍军人档案是申请退伍军人福利、补办服役证明、家族史研究时经常需要的文件，但记录分散在档案馆、人事档案中心和各军种之间，不少申请人因为找错机构而耽误时间。这场在退伍军人日前夕举行的论坛，正是为帮助申请人一次理清各机构的收藏分工。（来源：美国国家档案馆）
National Archives Hosts Online Forum November 10: Agency Experts Explain How to Find Veterans' Records
The National Archives will host an online forum, 'Accessing Veterans' Records: A Multi-Agency Forum,' on November 10 from 1 to 3 p.m. Eastern Time. Hosted by the Archives' Office of Government Information Services (OGIS), it will be livestreamed free on the National Archives' YouTube channel.
Experts from several federal agencies will explain, agency by agency, which veterans' and service members' records each one holds, how the public can request them, and the most common misconceptions in the process. Confirmed speakers include Virginia E. Burke, the Department of War's FOIA chief, and representatives of the National Personnel Records Center, which holds tens of millions of military personnel files and is the office veterans and their families most often deal with when seeking service records.
Veterans' records are needed for benefits claims, replacement service documents and family-history research, but they are scattered among the Archives, the records center and the individual services, and many applicants lose time by asking the wrong agency. Held on the eve of Veterans Day, the forum aims to map out those divisions of custody in one session. (Source: National Archives and Records Administration)
