Intelligence Documentation Project


The mission of the Intelligence Documentation Project is to expand significantly the public’s understanding of one of the most sensitive areas of U.S. national security policy – the Intelligence Community (IC).  Through extensive use of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), the project has placed in the public domain thousands of previously classified records that describe and contextualize many facets of the IC’s history, organization, structure, mission and operations. (See also the Cyber Vault.)
