CIA MKULTRA Collection

Starting over six years ago, The Black Vault filed a FOIA request for all documents pertaining to MKULTRA and similar projects. I was told that these documents were being reviewed, and I would be contacted when the review was completed.

For years I waited, and was never contacted. The CIA, in fact, DID release the documents on three CD-ROMs yet they never notified me and my open FOIA request still pending in their office.

They knew what The Black Vault could and would do. I simply uploaded the entire contents of the CDs onto The Black Vault, and I created easy to follow indexes to these documents. Needless to say, they did not want this, since they never once wanted to contact me about the release.

Below, you will find the links to these CD-ROMs and the contents therein. You will also find a link to the gallery holding the index to these documents, so you can better navigate.

These files are organized in exactly the same way the CIA would send them to you. I simply created HTML indexes to make it even easier!

The directories contain .tif images of the documents (not my favorite format) and two other files. The .txt file is a poor excuse for a OCR (optical character recognition) of the document, which means they put the documents through a software title to make it text. You will see these are usually useless, because the process does not work on poorly photocopies documents. The .dat file in these directories is the one line description, as found in the index.

Please Note: If you need a FREE .TIF viewer – you can download Brava!® Reader. Brava!® Reader is a free application that opens, views, and prints TIFF files.
