In Hungary, the mandatory military service existed for almost 300 years (1715-2004), and therefore affected the life of a significant number of families. This study gives a review of the digitization project of the military registers of the National Archives of Hungary (NAH). The history of the military register collection dates back to the 1960s, when the original archival records were collected from the county archives and were microfilmed in the microfilm laboratory of the NAH in Budapest. Although the collection is outstanding for family and scientific researchers as well, this unique source type remained almost unknown to researchers for decades. After the digitization of microfilm rolls, the digital images became available online and received a warm welcome from the public.
