FBI File Archive

 

I will be scanning and posting FBI files I’ve acquired via the FOIA here; and links to scanned files elsewhere. (In progress.)

FBI files, otherwise, are acquired via FOIA from the FBI or at the FBI Vault online; from the National Archives and here at the Archives; FOLD3 has early Bureau of Investigation records that are the ones on microfilm at the NARA (The Miscellaneous Files; Old German Files, Mexican Files, & Bureau Section Files);  the largest collection (& least redacted due to AT’s appeals) outside of the government is Athan Theoharis’ collection at Marquette University.
