A: To locate a Selective Service System appeal filed in NYC in 1971, you can start by visiting the National Archives. They hold extensive military and governmental records that may include the appeal you're seeking. Their website provides guidance on accessing these historical documents.

Additionally, local libraries or law libraries in New York City may have archives or access to legal databases that contain older case files. Contacting a librarian for assistance can help you navigate their resources effectively. Universities with strong law programs might also have relevant collections.

Another option is to reach out directly to the Selective Service System. They can provide information on how to access past appeals or direct you to the appropriate department. Online forums and historical legal databases might also offer leads on where to find the specific appeal from 1971.
