State of the JFK Releases 2025
This page discusses the state of the JFK Records Collection at the start of 2025, with particular focus on documents which remain partially or fully withheld from the public. This collection of records, numbering over 5 million pages, is housed at the National Archives II in College Park, MD. The Mary Ferrell Foundation has approximately 25-30% of these records available for reading and searching online on this website.
Public statements regarding the potential declassification of the remaining withheld JFK documents, made by President-elect Donald Trump and allies including Robert Kennedy Jr., have refocused attention on this collection. This page outlines recent history and the current state of affairs.
