JFK Assassination Records — 2022 Release

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.

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.
