The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has published over 12 million pages of declassified documents online, and you can easily access them.
What the CIA declassified
A plethora of documents, news clippings, letters and reports have covered a range of strange and fascinating topics dating back to the 1940s. A quick scan reveals files on topics ranging from UFOs and spyware recipes for invisible ink, to investigations into Uri Geller's famous "paranormal perception", and even documents on the infamous MK-Ultra behavior management project.
You can independently search more than 930 thousand complete documents in the "Library" of the official CIA website, which has its own internal search bar.
Public access to all of this data and information is of immense importance to researchers, scientists, journalists, botanists, the general public and, no doubt, conspiracy theorists.

Why did you have to declassify archival documents
These documents have technically been in the public domain since 1995, but previously they were only available on four computers at the Maryland National Archives from 9 am to 4:30 pm. The nonprofit news organization MuckRock in 2014 forced the CIA to make the documents available to the general public through a lawsuit. In 2015, the organization announced that it could provide a 1,200 CD-ROM database over six years for $ 108,000.
It took some time and effort to get the information now available after a few clicks.
