Unlocking the Past: The Kennedy Files Unveiled

The National Archives is on a mission. They are working hard to make sure that important documents are not hidden away forever. This is especially true for the files related to the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy. In 2025, President Trump signed an order. This order made it possible for these files to be released to the public. The National Archives is now working to make sure that all relevant documents are gathered and made available. The National Archives has a big job. It is responsible for keeping all the important records of the U. S. government. This includes documents related to the assassination of Senator Kennedy. Many of these records were already in their possession. They were transferred from various federal agencies but were not accessible to the public. Now, the National Archives is working with other government agencies to make sure that any remaining records are found and transferred as quickly as possible. The process of releasing these records is not simple. The National Archives is working with other agencies to review and release the documents. They are doing this in a way that follows the Freedom of Information Act. This act ensures that as much information as possible is made public. However, some information may still be withheld if it is required by law. On April 18, 2025, a large batch of documents was released. This batch included 10, 185 pages spread across 229 PDF files. Some of these documents were in black and white. Others were in color. The black and white scans were used to speed up the review process. However, some pages were not clear in black and white. So, they were replaced with color scans to make them readable. The release of these documents is an important step. It allows researchers and the public to access information that was previously hidden. This can help to shed light on a significant event in American history. It also promotes transparency and accountability in government. The National Archives is committed to making sure that these records are available to everyone. They are working hard to ensure that the process is thorough and transparent.
