JFK Assassination Records — 2022 Release, 10,536 indexed files

What the 10,536-document count covers

The 10,536 figure is the number of records tagged to topic slug jfk-release-2022. Collection name on the packet is JFK Assassination Records — 2022 Release. Each row is one indexed file from the 2022 disclosure of the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection. The index does not convert page length into extra rows. A one-page transmittal and a thick working file both increment docCount by one.

Ten thousand five hundred thirty-six is 20.0% of the 52,684 documents in the BlackVaultDocs index. That one-fifth share is a volume comparison inside this website’s ingest, not a statement that one-fifth of the historical JFK record was posted in 2022. Other years have their own hubs. Mixing 10,536 with a 2017–2018 or 2025 count without naming each release year produces a total no packet published.

Agency slug is nara. The 2022 files are a NARA posting from the same statutory collection as other JFK release years, distinguished here only by disclosure year and by this hub’s 10,536-document index. No NARA ID appears in the packet facts, so none is cited in this prose.

2022 as a posting year, not a new collection name

The packet description is short: files disclosed in 2022 from the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection. Unlike the 2017–2018 hub, this packet does not describe a merge onto a single archives.gov landing page. The 2022 identity is the disclosure year. Researchers comparing hubs should keep 10,536 attached to 2022 and 52,684 attached to the site-wide index.

A later release does not retire this hub. Files indexed under jfk-release-2022 stay in the 10,536 count unless the ingest is rebuilt. A 2025 posting is a different topic slug. The 20.0% share can change only if 10,536 or 52,684 changes in a new index run.

What the 10,536 rows do not decide

Indexed titles are not verdicts. The 10,536 documents are public records from a named NARA release. This page does not argue that the 2022 posting confirmed or disproved any account of November 1963. Conspiracy commentary is outside the catalog. The honest citation is 10,536 indexed files from the 2022 disclosure of the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection.

Absence from the 10,536 is absence from this collection slice in the BlackVaultDocs index. It is not proof that a person, cable, or office was never in NARA’s holdings. The document index and the all-collections directory show where else a title might appear.

Using the 2022 collection hub

The JFK Assassination Records — 2022 Release collection page is the live list behind 10,536. All collections shows sibling topic hubs that sum, without overlap of slugs, toward the 52,684-document index. The document index is site-wide. Open the originating archive for the PDF; this site stores catalog metadata and a pointer.

Search on the hub matches indexed fields, not the full text of every scan. A name missing from titles can still appear inside a PDF. The 10,536 count will not tell you that; the file will.

How to cite the 10,536 and 52,684 figures

Cite 10,536 as BlackVaultDocs’ indexed document count for JFK Assassination Records — 2022 Release. Cite 52,684 as the site-wide document total in the same index. Both numbers come from an ingest of public NARA and FOIA releases. They are not NARA’s official published inventory of the entire JFK collection. If the ingest is rerun, either number can move. PDFs remain on the originating archive.

Keep 10,536 attached to disclosure year 2022 when you quote it. Keep 52,684 attached to the site-wide index. The 20.0% share is 10,536 divided by 52,684. It is a volume comparison inside this ingest, not a statement that NARA released one-fifth of the JFK collection in 2022.

Limits of the 10,536-row catalog

Ten thousand five hundred thirty-six indexed files can include cables, memoranda, and other types this packet does not enumerate. The 2022 description does not list file types. This page therefore does not invent a type table. Search the collection hub by title, then open the originating archive for the scan.

The index can miss a file that NARA posted but this ingest did not tag to jfk-release-2022. A zero on a name search is a statement about indexed titles in this slice, not about NARA’s full holdings. The document index is the site-wide list for other slugs in the 52,684-document total.

Questions

How many documents are in the JFK 2022 release on BlackVaultDocs?

BlackVaultDocs indexes 10,536 documents under JFK Assassination Records — 2022 Release. That is 20.0% of the 52,684 documents in the site-wide index. The files were disclosed in 2022 from the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection. PDFs remain on the originating archive.

Is the 2022 JFK release part of the 2017–2018 files?

No. The 10,536 count is a separate topic slug, jfk-release-2022. The 2017–2018 posting is a different hub. Both draw from the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection, but each disclosure year has its own indexed total. Adding them without naming years hides that structure.

What agency posted the 2022 JFK files?

The packet tags the collection to nara, the National Archives and Records Administration. The description is files disclosed in 2022 from the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection. BlackVaultDocs indexes those public releases; it does not replace archives.gov as the file host.

Does 10,536 mean the 2022 release closed the JFK record?

No. 10,536 is an index count for one posting year. The site-wide index holds 52,684 documents across collections, and NARA’s holdings can exceed both. This page does not treat the 2022 disclosure as a final or complete record of the assassination.
