// FREQUENTLY ASKED
Questions, answered plainly.
Short answers about what The Archive is, what it isn't, and how to use it responsibly.
What is The Archive?[+]
An independent dossier of contested public narratives — the topics the internet argues about endlessly but rarely sources rigorously. Each file pairs a careful summary with a trail of citations you can follow yourself.
Is this journalism?[+]
No. The Archive is editorial commentary built on top of public sources. We are not a newsroom. Treat every dossier as a starting point — never the final word.
Where do the sources come from?[+]
Court filings, government records, primary documents, peer-reviewed work, and reporting from established outlets. Nothing appears publicly until a source has been reviewed and attached.
What role does AI play?[+]
We use large language models as a research assistant — to summarise, structure, and cross-check material — never as a primary source. Every claim is anchored to a human-verifiable citation.
Why is someone listed in The Epstein Files?[+]
Inclusion means there is a public, source-backed record of a relationship, transaction, document, or proximity. Inclusion is not an accusation. We do not practice guilt by association.
Found an error or want to dispute a record?[+]
Use the submission form to file a correction or clarification. Every claim links to its source — point us at the document or filing that contradicts it and we will review.
Can I republish this material?[+]
Editorial summaries are not for reproduction without attribution. The underlying sources belong to their respective publishers — always link back to the originals.
