Using material obtained from government and law enforcement sources, via Freedom of Information requests, and from court files nationwide, we guarantee everything here is 100% authentic.

THE MEMORY HOLE exists to preserve and spread material that is in danger of being lost, is hard to find, or is not widely known. This includes: Government files • Corporate memos • Court documents (incl. lawsuits and transcripts) • Police reports and eyewitness statements • Congressional testimony • Reports (governmental and non-governmental) • Maps, patents, Web pages • Photographs, video, and sound recordings • News articles • Books (and portions of books)
The emphasis is on material that exposes things that we're not supposed to know (or that we're supposed to forget).
