Access the World War II Collection...
on Fold3 (formerly called Footnote).
Help us recognize Veterans Day by exploring our World War II Collection. In this collection you'll discover records, documents, stories, and photos, plus you have the opportunity to add your own. Highlights include:
Interactive USS Arizona Memorial - search for a name on the memorial wall and follow it through to a Memorial Page where you can add your own stories, photos, and facts for any USS Arizona casualty.
WWII Hero Pages - the World War II Army Enlistment Records help you begin a Hero Page, then add more stories, details, and photos. Invite your family and friends to contribute, too.
WWII Photos - over 80,000 photos from within every theater of the war with particular emphases on personnel, aircraft, bombings, maps, recreation, and more. Upload your own historical photos and add to the collection.
World War II Documents - official reports, first-hand accounts of battles, records of missing aircraft, and submarine patrol reports are only a few of the documents that bring to light the details of WWII and those who served in it. Click The Holocaust Collection banner for the most comprehensive online collection of Holocaust records, stories, maps, and photos.
Whether you're interested in the historic events or the people who influenced them, Fold3 brings these stories directly to you through documents, pages, and photos as we honor those who served in World War II and in all military engagements throughout U.S. history.

New Name for Footnote.com
'
On August 18th, Footnote announced it will focus on offering the finest and most comprehensive collection of U.S. Military records available on the internet. As part of this new focus, the name of the site has changed from Footnote to Fold3. The Fold3 name is derived from a traditional flag folding ceremony in which the third fold in the ceremony honors and remembers veterans for their sacrifice in defending their country and promoting peace in the world. Why Fold3? We chose a name that would better show honor and respect for those who served in the military.
The Footnote name was appropriate for a general historical records site, but for many people, a footnote is something of insignificance and the name is not applicable to the service and sacrifice of those who have fought for their country over the last 250 years. Going forward Fold3 will be adding millions of U.S. military records to continue to help you discover and share stories about everyday heroes, forgotten soldiers, and the families that supported them. You will still be able to access all the informative records, including non-military records, previously found on Footnote. Account Details: Your current Annual All-Access account will let you view all the images on Fold3 and you will be able to sign in with your same email address and password you used on Footnote. Any contributions you have made to Footnote will also move over to Fold3.
We are excited for you to continue with us on Fold3, the Web's premier collection and destination for original U.S. military records. Visit Fold3 today!
Thank you,
The Fold3 Team (formerly the Footnote Team)
