Abstract: In this technical report, we introduce the CenSoc WWII Army Enlistment Dataset. This harmonized file was constructed from the most informative parts of World War II era army enlistment records that were digitized and published by the National Archives and Records Administration and the U.S. Census Bureau. The CenSoc WWII Army Enlistment Dataset contains information on 24 variables for over 9 million records of enlistees circa 1938-1947. This report details the composition of these records, and describes steps taken to clean the raw data file to produce this harmonized data set. We also describe datasets constructed by linking the CenSoc WWII Army Enlistment Dataset to U.S. mortality records and census records.
