The Collection

Through the generosity of Harold Weisberg (1913-2002), Hood College has obtained the world's largest accessible private collection of government documents and public records relating to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Using he Freedom of Information and Privacy Act (FOIAPA), Weisberg acquired from the government hundreds of thousands of relevant documents.

The entire archive is available in its physical form at the Beneficial-Hodson Library

Holdings

250,000+ pages of documents, largely Warren Commission, FBI, Secret Service, Justice Department, and CIA records.

85,000+ pages of FBI documents on the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and some material relating to the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy.

Records of at least a dozen major FOIAPA lawsuits against the government.

Voluminous and valuable subject index file with Weisberg's collection of contemporary magazine and newspaper clippings, background research, and correspondence with other researchers and writers.

A digitization project that started around 1994, has generated as of today, more than 85% of the archive in electronic form. The digitization project continues and the digitized portions of the archive are now available to browse and search on-line.Find out more about the archive here
