Robert Howard Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 (edited) Does anyone know what the last JFK Assassination Documents to be de-classified and released are, and/or name and number of files?

Larry Hancock Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Robert, you might try contacting NARA staff but for practical purposes they are no longer separating newly released documents but rather filing them back in folders and boxes along with older documents. Which means literally researchers have to go back into old material and parse to look for additions, makes it extremely difficult to locate new stuff. One tactic is to do periodic online NARA searches against your favorite topics and keep count of which and how many are listed....I've watched the releases for Morales, Phillips and other topics like AM/WORLD rise constantly over the last few years. Again, pretty time consuming and certainly behind the curve as the online listings take longer to update.... If you find a short cut let us know, Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Gratz Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Larry, it seems to me the problem must affect other researchers (i.e non JFK related as well). The solution is to require the agency to use the computer technology to establish a much easier system. I am sure it would not be that difficult for a computer consultant to formulate such a system. The above is a great example why I am a conservative and believe in private enterprise rather than big government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah,great idea. they would have all been sold off to the highest bidder by know. disappeared into private collections, never to be seen again. One things for certain,you would not be viewing them free of charge on the net. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesca Akhtar Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 One of the frustrating things for me, not being in the U.S. is that NARA don't have the actual documents available online. I really wish they would do this. It would save so much time and hassle of writing or calling to get them. I know it must be a huge job to do what with the number of documents they have but even if they could put at least some on there it would be helpful. It's annoying when you can read the actual index of what they have on there online but not the document itself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
