In April 2023, NGS signed a new contract with Ancestry.com and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to resume digitizing the War of 1812 pensions. The project had been on hiatus for several reasons, including the shutdowns caused by the pandemic. With the resumption of work, the digitization of pension files for surnames starting with the letters Sj to U should be completed in one year. The process will continue until every page of every War of 1812 pension record is added.
