No doubt your neighbors and friends are asking you about the big "documents drop" happening this week, or you've seen it in the news. There's a lot of hype around it but here are the facts: The JFK Library doesn't have much to do with these documents because they are all in DC and managed by NARA. Following the passage of the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992, records related to President Kennedy's assassination were transferred to the National Archives in College Park, MD. Researchers interested in the October 26, 2017 release of documents from the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection should contact the National Archives at College Park. If you're interested in the overall processing project you can see this helpful site:
