The National Archives and Records Administration is releasing documents previously withheld in accordance with the JFK Assassination Records Collection Act. The vast majority of the Collection (88%) has been open in full and released to the public since the late 1990s. The records at issue are documents previously identified as assassination records, but withheld in full or withheld in part. Learn more
This release consists of 3,810 documents, including 441 formerly withheld-in-full documents and 3,369 documents formerly released with portions redacted. The documents originate from FBI and CIA series identified by the Assassination Records Review Board as assassination records. More releases will follow.
To view the entire file, you may visit the National Archives at College Park and request access to the original records.
Each release file is a ZIP file containing copies of the records and a corresponding XLSX spreadsheet with metadata about each file.

I watched some of the news clips of him getting shot.
From the looks of it, he MAY have survived the first shot but the second one, that blew open his skull, IMO, killed him instantly. I think he was dead when Jackie crawled on the trunk to retrieve a piece of his skull.
She held it together very well. What composure during that whole thing.
A lot of stuff was sealed because it was CIA/FBI records. Oswald was a former defector, so the FBI definitely would have debriefed and monitored him. He also apparently learned Russian language from a government school while in the Marines (already revealed in the Warren report), and was using the offices of a former FBI agent while engaging in “subversive” activities in New Orleans, so there is plenty of reason to suspect he had done some work for some US intelligence agency or another.
G. Robert Blakey, who had seen all the documents that weren't released, has said there is nothing in them that's going to change our minds.
These documents weren't withheld because they contain some dark surprise about who killed JFK. They were withheld for security and privacy reasons regarding the people that are in them.
"So many, both on the right and the left, deride the Warren Commission report as a whitewash, or at best, an incomplete summary of the events."
So many like a good story and don't want to believe that we knew the answer all along. That doesn't make it false.
It had nothing to do with the result of the investigation. Warren wanted everything released. But it was already the law that these sorts of government records were withheld for a certain number of years. It didn't just apply to the JFK case.
"And why is ANYTHING still sealed?"
Very little is. What was left was withheld to protect sources and methods, and the private personal information of people that were included in the investigation.
This is not important or material to anything, but Jackie wasn't retrieving a piece of skull. There is no skull on the trunk. She was in an involuntary panic and was reflexively trying to escape. She didn't even remember doing that.
It looked like she picked something up.
I can sooner believe that she was trying to get out of there and that she didn’t remember it. I would too if I saw someone’s face blown open.
Exactly!
Would it change your thinking any, if it turns out that the Deep State did it?
(Just like they want to do to Trump...)
If you look at the extreme blow-ups of the Zapruder film, Jackie has her face quite close to JFK's looking right into his eyes, trying to determine what's wrong, when his head explodes. She panicked and tried to escape. Hard to know what her main reaction was - panic, fear, revulsion shock, all of the above?
Not skull, brain. There are many witnesses who testified that she went to the trunk to retrieve a piece of JFK’s brain. Unrealistic action, but that is what she did. A piece of the President’s skull was found in the grass to the left of where the limo passed a couple of days after the assassination. (see Harper fragment).
There were three locations scouted and prepared for the assassination: Miami, Dallas and Chicago. All three had triangulation of fire, primarily from buildings. All three had an unknowing patsy in place to divert attention from the real assassins. The one in Miami was discovered and JFK’s trip cancelled. Dallas worked. Chicago would have been backup had Dallas not been successful. A man named Joseph Milteer was recorded discussing the Miami plan and many think he was in Dallas that day.
I live in Denton, Texas just north of Dallas. I was in first grade in 1963 and Oswald’s niece was in my class that day. Her dad worked at Acme Brick here in Denton. Because of that, I have always been fascinated by the assassination.
I think I have read almost every book written about 11/22/63. As a pharma rep and through other relationships, I have met and talked to several of the doctors at Parkland that day. I believe that Oswald did not fire a shot that day and was exactly what he claimed........a patsy.

“Would it change your thinking any, if it turns out that the Deep State did it?”

No,that was always one of the rumors,except that they were called “ Johnson insiders”.

Neither skull nor brain is on the trunk. She didn't go to retrieve anything. There are people that inferred the same thing you do, but there are no witnesses that saw her retrieve anything off the trunk because she didn't do that.
"A piece of the President’s skull was found in the grass to the left of where the limo passed a couple of days after the assassination. (see Harper fragment)."
Yes but that's unrelated to anything she would have supposedly gotten off the trunk.
"There were three locations scouted and prepared for the assassination: Miami, Dallas and Chicago. All three had triangulation of fire, primarily from buildings. All three had an unknowing patsy in place to divert attention from the real assassins. The one in Miami was discovered and JFK’s trip cancelled. Dallas worked. Chicago would have been backup had Dallas not been successful. A man named Joseph Milteer was recorded discussing the Miami plan and many think he was in Dallas that day."
Those other plots are unrelated to what happened in Dallas. Plots to kill the President are not rare.
"I think I have read almost every book written about 11/22/63..."
Then you would have noticed they don't agree with each other, not just with the Warren Commission. But what you will get from reading all those conspiracy books is a great load of false information.
Everything I posted is correct. The left-rear of the trunk was covered with brain and skull matter. The motorcycle cop riding back from that same corner of the limo testified that his windshield and face were covered with gore.
The skull fragment is absolutely related in that it shows the trajectory of the matter. It was a heavier piece that did not stick to the trunk.
The other plans were part of three, with Dallas being the 2nd one. There were contingency plans. The first was discovered and the trip cancelled. The second, unfortunately, was successful. And the third unneeded.
Of course ALL the books do not agree. I did not claim they did. I think my reading is more comprehensive than whatever you have read. What we are talking about rings true through the literature. We are not talking about 20 guys on the Grassy Knoll, just facts.
