Example
In the United States, World War I Draft Registrations, 1917–1918, we discovered a record for Edwin Powell Hubble, the renowned American astronomer whose groundbreaking work laid the foundation for the field of extragalactic astronomy.
This draft registration, filed around 1918 in Walworth County, Wisconsin, offers a glimpse into Hubble’s life before his astronomical fame. At the time, he was an assistant at the University of Chicago, and the record notes that his mother and sister were partially dependent on him.
