Dataset Sources [optional]

Uses

The dataset is suitable for large-scale document analysis, OCR processing and semantic Q&A.

Dataset Structure

This dataset is relased as multiple parquet files, named after the year(s) in which archives.org published the corresponding data.

Each parquet file has two columns: file_path, which is the name of the PDF file in the archives.org listing, and content, which is the binary PDF data.

Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

The JFK assassination has been an unassailable mystery even after decades of investigations by premier agencies, the media and ordinary people. A large-scale analysis of the assassination records may offer new clues, help substantiate or refute some of the theories. There are about six millions files related to the event that are being made public through archives.org. This HF dataset makes it easier for anyone interested in performing such an analysis to access the data.

Text extracted from these documents is available as a separate dataset here
