Launch date > 10 July 2002
Purpose > 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).
Administration > The Memory Hole’s blog gets new posts several times a week. As for the main site, we’ll see. To get email notification of updates to the main site, go here. Better yet, subscribe to the RSS feed and keep track of everything that gets posted.
Helping > If you know of something that should be on the site, please get in touch. If you’d like to help out financially, here’s the info on donating.
Funding > The Memory Hole is funded entirely out of Russ’ own shallow pockets, including the money that readers like you graciously tuck into those pockets. It contains no e-commerce, subscriber areas, or ads (except for the obvious self-promotion of those books written or edited by Russ). It does not receive funding from foundations.
