The National Personnel Records Center is an agency of the National Archives and Records Administration, created in 1956. It is divided into two large Federal Records Centers located in St. Louis, Missouri. The current director of the National Personnel Records Center, as of 2008, is a retired United States Coast Guard Captain, Ronald Hindman.
The records centers which comprise the National Personnel Records Center are the Military Personnel Records Center, located on Page Avenue in Overland, Missouri, and the Civilian Personnel Records Center located on Winnebago Street in downtown St. Louis, Missouri.
A separate building, which houses archived Navy and Marine Corps military records (now released to the public as of 2005) is located within walking distance of the Military Personnel Records Center on Dielman Road, also in Overland.
A major fire on July 12, 1973 destroyed approximately one-third of its 52 million official military personnel files.
