This subseries contains materials used in the collection efforts of the HWRD including leaflets from 1943 soliciting donations for the collection; copies of a cover letter introducing the memorial volume project to relatives of deceased service members; blank forms and transcription sheets associated with the memorial volume and efforts to count war casualties from Hawaii; blank questionnaires distributed to churches and schools regarding wartime experiences; and two ledgers created to document returned soldiers of Hawaii and members of the Gold Star Register of deceased soldiers of Hawaii (both ledgers contain very few entries and are obviously incomplete).
