National Archives Goes AI

 [Recent  Email sent out by National Archives]

AI and the Revolutionary War Pension Files

We are excited to announce that through a partnership with FamilySearch, AI extracted text for all 2,322,137 pages of the Case Files of Pension and Bounty-Land Warrant Applications Based on Revolutionary War Service, ca. 1800 - ca. 1912 is now available in the National Archives Catalog.

 FamilySearch used 30,000 pages of pensions transcribed by our Citizen Archivists to teach their AI language model how to transcribe this 19th Century cursive writing.  The Partner Contributed transcriptions generated by their AI language model for the entire series will now be available as Extracted Text in the National Archives Catalog.
