Frequently asked questions

What is the JFK 2025 release?

On March 18, 2025, the National Archives published roughly 80,000 pages of previously withheld records from the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection — the largest single batch released since 2017 and the first release without redactions under Executive Order 14176.

How were these documents compiled?

BlackVaultDocs indexes every PDF linked from the archives.gov 2025 release landing page. Each record retains its original NARA Record Identification Number (e.g. 104-10003-10041) so it can be cross-referenced against the JFK Assassination Records Collection.

Why did it take until 2025?

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.

Are the PDFs hosted here?

No. Every PDF link points to the canonical file on archives.gov. BlackVaultDocs stores only metadata — title, NARA ID, release date, collection, and agency — so researchers can search and cite without mirroring the primary source.
