National Security Archive
The National Security Archive is a 501(c)(3) non-governmental, non-profit research and archival institution located on the campus of the George Washington University in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1985 to check rising government secrecy, the National Security Archive is an investigative journalism center, open government advocate, international affairs research institute, and is the largest repository of declassified U.S. documents outside of the federal government.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About the National Security Archive )〕 The National Security Archive has spurred the declassification of more than 10 million pages of government documents by being the leading non-profit user of the U.S. Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), filing a total of more than 50,000 FOIA and declassification requests in its nearly 30-year history.
==Organization history and accolades==
Journalists and historians founded the National Security Archive in 1985 to enrich research and public debate about national security policy.〔 The National Security Archive continues to challenge national security secrecy by advocating for open government, utilizing the FOIA to compel the release of previously secret government documents, and analyzing and publishing its collections for the public.
As a prolific FOIA requester, the National Security Archive has pried loose a host of seminal government documents, including: the most FOIA’d document at the U.S. National Archives – a December 21, 1970 picture of President Richard Nixon’s meeting with Elvis Presley;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Nixon-Presley Meeting )〕 the CIA’s “Family Jewels” list that documents decades of the agency’s illegal activities;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The CIA's Family Jewels )〕 the National Security Agency’s (NSA) description of its watch list of 1,600 Americans that included notable Americans such as civil rights leader Martin Luther King, boxer Muhammad Ali, and politicians Frank Church and Howard Baker; the first official CIA confirmation of Area 51; U.S. plans for a “full nuclear response” in the event the President was ever attacked or disappeared; FBI transcripts of 25 interviews with Saddam Hussein after his capture by U.S. troops in December 2003; the Osama bin Laden File, and the most comprehensive document collections available on the Cold War, including the nuclear flashpoints occurring during the Cuban Missile Crisis and the 1983 “Able Archer” War Scare.
In February 2011, the National Security Archive won Tufts University’s Dr. Jean Mayer Global Citizenship Award〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Annual Report for 2011 )〕 for “demystifying and exposing the underworld of global diplomacy and supporting the public’s right to know.” In September 2005, the Archive won the Emmy Award for outstanding achievement in news and documentary research.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=National Security Archive Wins 2005 Emmy Award )〕 In 1998, the National Security Archive shared the George Foster Peabody Award for the outstanding broadcast series, CNN's ''Cold War''. In April 2000, the National Security Archive won the George Polk Award,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=National Security Archive Wins 1999 George Polk Award for Journalism )〕 for “facilitating thousands of searches for journalists and scholars. The archive, funded by foundations as well as income from its own publications, has become a one-stop institution for declassifying and retrieving important documents, suing to preserve such government data as presidential e-mail messages, pressing for appropriate reclassification of files, and sponsoring research that has unearthed major revelations.”
