Frequently asked questions

What is the JFK 2023 release?

The 2023 release added newly declassified CIA, FBI, and State Department cables to the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection, continuing the disclosure program mandated by the 1992 Assassination Records Act.

Why did it take until 2023?

Under the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992, all records related to the assassination were required to be publicly disclosed by October 26, 2017. Subsequent Presidential orders extended certain redactions, which is why releases continued through 2025.

Is this the complete 2023 release?

The archives.gov landing page for the 2023 release links a sample of inline PDFs plus a downloadable index file listing every record. BlackVaultDocs indexes the inline links today; the long tail from the index file is planned.
