Abstract
Kathleen Crosman of the National Archives at Seattle introduces readers to the possibilities of doing genealogy research in the records of the Spruce Production Division. During World War I, troops were based in the forests and mills of the Pacific Northwest, and the National Archives at Seattle has the correspondence of 150 field squadrons and companies, district offices, and the headquarters cantonment at the Vancouver Barracks in Vancouver, Washington. Crosman outlines possible search routes and describes the type of information that is available in the squadron and headquarters correspondence. The squadron correspondence tells a story of the soldiers' lives — their pay, their complaints, their requests, the routines of military operations even in the middle of the forest, and the semi-civilian feel of a military unit in which most soldiers were working on civilian tasks.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
