JFK Files Summaries

This repository contains summarized documents derived from the original JFK files officially released by the Trump administration on March 18, 2025. Each summary file has been generated through a two-step process:

  1. OCR Processing:
    State-of-the-art Optical Character Recognition was used to accurately extract text from the original documents.

  2. LLM Summarization:
    The extracted text was then processed with a large language model to create concise summaries, making it easier for researchers and analysts to understand the key points without delving into the full documents.

Overview

  • Original Release: Documents were released on March 18, 2025 by the Trump administration.
  • Processing Pipeline:
    • OCR: Advanced OCR techniques were implemented to digitize the documents.
    • LLM: A modern LLM parsed the OCR output to generate high-quality summaries.
  • File Format:
    Each summary file follows the naming convention of <document_id>_summary.md (e.g., 180-10110-10100_summary.md), containing key insights and relevant details from the original file.

File Structure

  • README.md:
    Provides an overview and instructions for the repository.

  • Summary Files (*_summary.md):
    Each file represents a summarized version of an original document from the JFK files release. For example:

    • 180-10110-10100_summary.md:
      Summarizes the detailed account of Lee Harvey Oswald's activities, including his interactions at the Cuban and Soviet embassies in Mexico City and associated intelligence surveillance.

How to Use These Files

  1. Explore Summaries:
    Open any *_summary.md file to quickly grasp the key details of the corresponding original document.

  2. Cross-reference:
    Use the document identifier (e.g., 180-10110-10100) to locate related summaries or further documentation if available.

  3. Research Verification:
    While these summaries provide a high-level overview, they are generated automatically. For detailed analysis or formal research, always compare with the original documents or consult official sources.

Disclaimer

These summaries were generated using automated processes (OCR and LLM summarization) and while every effort was made to ensure their accuracy, the process may not capture every nuance of the original documents. Users are advised to refer to the original files or authoritative sources for precision-critical applications.
