Dear Mr. Joy,
Thank you for posting your request on the History Hub!
Personnel records of Public Health Service Commissioned Corps officers are available upon request by completing a GSA SF 180 and mailing it to the Division of Commissioned Corps Officer Support, ATTN: Records Officer, 1101 Wooton Parkway, Plaza Level, Suite 100, Rockville, MD 20852. Their web site is https://www.usphs.gov/.
We searched the National Archives Catalog and located the Records of the Public Health Service (Record Group 90), but were unable to find any specific references to Robert Lindner at Cornell in NY or Lewisburg, PA. For additional information, please contact the National Archives at New York (RE-NY) at newyork.archives@nara.gov and the National Archives at Philadelphia (RE-PA) at philadelphia.archives@nara.gov.
We also located the Personnel Files of the Office of Strategic Services, 1942 - ca. 1962 in the Records of the Office of Strategic Services (Record Group 226) but were unable to locate a file for Robert Lindner. For a search of the Name Index to most of the documents in Record Group 226, please contact the National Archives at College Park - Textual Reference (RDT2) at archives2reference@nara.gov.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and pursuant to guidance received from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), NARA has adjusted its normal operations to balance the need of completing its mission-critical work while also adhering to the recommended social distancing for the safety of NARA staff. As a result of this re-prioritization of activities, you may experience a delay in receiving an initial acknowledgement as well as a substantive response to your reference request from RE-NY, RE-PA, and RDT2. We apologize for any inconvenience.
We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
