Preserve the Pensions (War of 1812 Pension Digitization Project)

The Federation of Genealogical Societies is raising money to digitize the War of 1812 pensions held by the National Archives and Records Administration. As they are digitized, they are made freely available on Fold3. Ancestry.com is paying for half the costs of the digitization, so all money donated will go twice as far.

For more information or to donate, go to http://www.preservethepensions.org/.
