What CIAVault.ai does

Ask the archive. Check every source.

The CIA Electronic Reading Room holds 1,003,493 declassified documents. CIAVault.ai reads them from the Internet Archive’s complete public copy, because cia.gov blocks automated collection, together with the open pages of cia.gov. National Archives CIA records (the JFK collection, Record Group 263) are coming next. All of them are public-domain U.S. government records.
