13 Million Pages of Declassified CIA Documents Were Just Posted Online



The documents have technically been publically available from 1995 onwards, however, they were previously only available on four computers in a back room of the National Archives in Maryland between the hours of 9am and 4.30pm. The CIA was pushed into making the documents available to the wider public following a lawsuit from the nonprofit news organization MuckRock in 2014. In 2015, the organization was told they could have the database delivered on 1,200 compact discs in six years time at a price of $108,000.

It might have taken some time and effort, but all that information and knowledge is now just a few clicks away.
Approx. 930,000 documents, totaling more than 12 million pages, now available on
