The Photocopy Service handles written requests for specific copies from cited works available in the DAR Library.  These would include citations and specific page numbers from: 

• Revolutionary War Ancestor Documentation files:  This includes locating the documentation file (also known as “supporting documentation” or “proofs”) that was used as proof for an application.   Requests are limited to one (1) DAR ancestor name per hour request.  Not every member submitted data.  The DAR does not have a file for every Revolutionary War ancestor.  We do not copy vital records issued by a government agency over the last 75 years.
• Genealogical Records Committee National Index
• DAR Library Catalog (Microfilm/Fiche and manuscript collections listed also)
• Revolutionary War Pension Records/Bounty Land Records
• Specific items from books/Microfilm/fiche being cited on Member Application Papers

All fees are for the service of searching and are non-refundable.  The DAR Library cannot guarantee to find the requested material.
