Snowden Disclosures: The Public Archives

TL;DR

The ACLU's NSA Documents database is a searchable public collection of 1,617 FOIA-released NSA records (last updated July 16, 2024) — from FISA court orders and compliance-incident notices to inspector-general reports and program manuals.

Publicly documented collections of the 2013+ NSA disclosures: the ACLU NSA Documents Database (launched April 2014 — every document public since June 5, 2013, searchable); EFF's 'NSA Primary Sources' chronological list; The Guardian's 'The NSA Files'; National Security Archive holdings. (The exact current URL of the ACLU database was not captured in this research pass.)

Evidence status: Confirmed by primary sources — court records, government reports, declassified documents.

AI DOCUMENT REVIEW

Generated from the primary source document. How we review.

AI review of the ACLU NSA Documents database page (aclu.org/foia-collections/nsa-documents-search), read in full: - The database is 'Showing 1617 Results,' last updated July 16, 2024, searchable by document date, release date, and text, spanning documents dated 1993-2018 with release years 2013-2018. - The ACLU's framing: it 'long suspected that the NSA has gone far beyond its counterterrorism and foreign intelligence mandate, implementing a massive system to conduct bulk surveillance of millions of innocent Americans.' - Visible entries include the NSA OIG Semi-Annual Report to Congress (Oct 2017-Mar 2018), the UNITEDRAKE manual, NSA SSO weekly briefs, FISA Section 702 orders (Sept 2011), compliance-incident notices, and agency reviews of U.S.-person privacy protections in SIGINT dissemination. - Record summary broadly consistent on the database's nature; the 'launched April 2014' and 'every document public since June 5, 2013' details were not confirmable on this page (earliest listed release year is 2013).
