BlackVaultDocs

Declassified. Indexed. Searchable.

The black vault, structured.

BlackVaultDocs is a machine-readable index of declassified US government records — JFK, RFK, MLK, and other FOIA-released collections. Every document links directly to the original PDF at the National Archives, with structured metadata so researchers, journalists, and LLMs can reason over the full corpus.

Why this archive exists

Structured, not scanned

Every PDF has a canonical slug, source URL, agency, and collection tag — so queries beat keyword search on the originating release pages.

Original sources only

We link directly to the PDFs hosted by the National Archives. No re-uploads, no mirrors — you always see the primary source.

Built for discovery

Fast, static pages crawlable by humans and LLMs. Use the collection and agency indexes as your jumping-off points.
