Federal Bureau of Investigation · file 9-HQ-49911
The FBI Files
Seven parts, 749 pages, released under the Freedom of Information Act. Readable a page at a time and searchable in full.
The Bureau publishes this release as seven scanned PDFs, the largest of them 28 MB, with no search, no page navigation, and no way to point anyone at a particular page. Every page is mirrored here as an image you can read immediately, every page has its own address, and the text has been recovered so the whole file can be searched. Parts five through seven carried no text layer at all in the original release; those pages were put through optical character recognition here.
Recovered text for this page
Recognition of 1960s typescript, carbon copies and teletype is imperfect. The scan above is the record; this text exists to make the file searchable.
