JFK Assassination Files

President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963. The federal investigative record that followed — Warren Commission exhibits, CIA 201 files, FBI field reports, and House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) working papers — was consolidated by the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992, which required public disclosure of every assassination-related record held by the US government.

Disclosure happened in tranches: the statutory 2017–2018 release published the bulk of the collection, with follow-on releases in 2021, 2022, 2023, and the final unredacted batch of roughly 80,000 pages in March 2025 under Executive Order 14176. Each record carries a NARA Record Identification Number (e.g. 104-10003-10041) identifying the originating agency, file series, and item — the same citation format used in academic and journalistic work on the assassination.

This hub collects the full set of release collections, the key figures who appear throughout the files — Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby, J. Edgar Hoover, James Angleton — and the records whose titles explicitly reference the JFK assassination: declassification memos, review-board status reports, and the administrative paper trail of the disclosure program itself.
