All the best,

Paul,
As best I can tell, I believe access to the MACRs will not be of limited duration since they are NARA holdings.

I only heard about the free MACR download offer by word of mouth a couple of weeks ago, and I thought I'd better get the official Footnote line on the matter.
The best I can find is this:
Footnote.Com And The National Archives Launch Internet’s Largest Interactive World War II Collection
5 Dec 2008>Washington DC and Lindon, UT
......
For a limited time, Footnote.com is providing free access to their National Archives WWII collections that include:
• Pearl Harbor Muster Rolls
• Missing Air Crew Reports
• U.S. Air Force Photos
• Submarine Patrol Reports
• Japanese Air Target Analysis
• Army JAG Case Files
• Navy JAG Case Files
• Naval Press Clippings
• Allied Military Conferences
....
All the best,
PB

All is not as dire as might appear at first glance for those who are patient. Please see this link: http://archives.gov/press/press-release ... 07-41.html
2012 is not too far off.

I just wish I'd finished downloading them last month.
TTFN,
