The National War Industries Projects series (1942) contains five binders compiled by the Manager of Industrial Development that detail war projects in Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, and California.

For each project in each corresponding state, there is a standard form listing the location, a description of area and improvements, cost of project, owner, operator of plant and railroads serving plant, and any affect on Union Pacific property or facilities, including whether new access track or other changes to facilities was required. Types of projects include processing, production, manufacturing, and assembly plants, supply depots, training camps and airfields, Japanese and alien internment camps, and prisoner of war camps. There is an index of projects by both state and type of plant.
