Very pleased with Gopher. I saw an ad for Gopher and thought to try them out. A few weeks after my order, I got high-quality scans back. Faster turnaround and lower price than ordering through the National Archives.

Found some unexpected answers in the documents provided, will do business with again.

Gopher records has been fast, thorough, and easy to work with. I have used them 5 times so far and plan to keep using them.

I recently ordered two Civil War Pension files from Gopher Records, and received the pdf files within five days of placing the order. The order process seamless, and response time was great. I am very pleased with this initial interaction with Gopher Records, their response time and professionalism!

I appreciate the service very much and found Gopher Records to be very helpful in my last successful request. To pursue receiving the records required submission of a FOIA request. They told me that it may take a while and might not be successful, but just the fact they knew what steps were needed and diligently followed up was so beneficial. Happily in my situation, the request worked and I was able to get a copy of the pension record! I highly recommend Gopher Records. They work with you through every step, keeping you [...]

I ordered the service record of my 3rd great grandfather and I was very pleased with the results. I was pleasantly surprised when I received the service record only a few days after ordering them! I will definitely be ordering more records in the future!

I ordered my 2nd grand uncle's pension file on August 2nd. I received the file on Aug 15th. Amazing, considering Gopher Records had to get special permission to pull the file as my 2nd grand uncle's file - Harlow, as it was combined with another soldier's file. My goal was to learn more about my paternal side, brick wall at my 3rd great grandfather, father to my 2nd grand grandfather (James) & his brother (Harlow) who served. I received 451 pages of documents, testimonies and statements. Took me a while to learn how [...]

Great service. Had never heard of Gopher until a couple weeks ago - saw it mentioned on Reddit. Super quick turnaround, and dirt cheap pricing. There's pretty much no reason to get these records from NARA directly if you know about Gopher.

Gopher Records obtained all the available records at NARA that I had requested, digitized them and made them available to me in a very efficient manner. Their pricing was reasonable too. I was very pleased with their service. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again should the need arise.

Wonderful experience working with Gopher Records. While I waited 6 months for NARA to deliver a requested document package, Bob Velke of Gopher Records completed a document request for me in a week and a half. Not only that, but he was instrumental in breaking the log jam on my NARA request, otherwise I believe I would not have received it in 6 months and probably would still be waiting. His personal service was outstanding. I can’t imagine going through NARA in the future when a service like Gopher Records is available.
