National Archives and Records Administration

The Files

• The Marilyn Monroe and the Kennedys — Repository for Kennedy-era files that preserved references to later Monroe-Kennedy allegations.
• The Hoover Files Blackmail — Custodian of the later-transferred Hoover files, helping confirm their reality and scope.
• The Iron Mountain Vaults — Federal archival body whose cave storage sites reinforced the image of history being moved underground.
• The RFK Assassination (1968) Second Gun — Repository and release point for the modern RFK records program.
• The Project Sign Cover-up — Holds the surviving official investigation records, though not an authenticated Estimate of the Situation.
• The "Archive Erasure" — Its records-management work on cognitive technologies is often cited as proof that archives are becoming machine-mediated.
