  ## Overview
20
 
21
- **FULL_EPSTEIN_INDEX** is a comprehensive, unified research archive aggregating public releases related to the Jeffrey Epstein estate and associated investigations.
22
 
23
- This repository expands upon earlier archives (such as the initial November 2025 House Oversight release) by integrating the **First Phase of Declassified Epstein Files** released by the Department of Justice. Unlike previous datasets restricted to scanned emails, this index combines:
24
 
25
- 1. **House Oversight Documents:** ~20,000 pages of emails and estate records (Nov 2025).
26
- 2. **DOJ Disclosures:** Flight logs, contact books (redacted), and the "Masseuse List."
27
- 3. **Multimedia Evidence:** BOP video footage and audio recordings from the Maxwell Proffer sessions.
28
- 4. **Transcripts:** Auto-generated text transcripts for all audio and video files to enable full-text search.
29
 
30
- **Note on Updates:** This index is a living archive. As additional phases of files are declassified and released by government bodies, they will be processed, indexed, and added to this repository.
31
 
32
- ## Dataset Contents
 
 
 
 
33
 
34
- The repository is organized to facilitate open-source intelligence (OSINT) analysis and research:
35
 
36
- * `FULL_EPSTEIN_INDEX.csv`: The master index containing the text content of **all** files. This allows for a single, unified search across PDFs, images, and video transcripts.
37
- * `raw_files/`: The original source files, preserved in their native formats:
38
- * **Documents:** PDFs of flight logs, contact books, and legal evidence lists.
39
- * **Video:** MP4 files of BOP facility footage (Aug 2019) and other evidence.
40
- * **Audio:** WAV files of witness interviews and proffer sessions.
41
- * `transcripts/`: (Optional) Individual text files for specific media assets.
42
-
43
- ## Preprocessing & Methodology
44
-
45
- To make this heterogeneous dataset searchable, we employed the following pipeline:
46
-
47
- * **Legacy Documents:** Text from the original 20k document release was preserved from the original OCR extraction.
48
- * **New PDFs:** Processed using `pdfplumber` to extract high-fidelity text from digital-native government releases (e.g., flight logs).
49
- * **Audio & Video:** Transcribed using **OpenAI Whisper** (Base model).
50
- * *Note:* Transcripts are automated and may contain errors, especially with low-quality audio or overlapping speech. Always cross-reference with the original `raw_files` media.
51
 
52
  ## Usage Guidelines
 
53
 
54
- This dataset is intended for **research, investigative journalism, and legal analysis**. By accessing this repository, you agree to the following ethical guidelines:
55
-
56
- ### User Responsibilities
57
- * **Verify Facts:** Much of this data consists of raw evidence, notes, and unverified allegations. Do not present search results as established fact without corroboration.
58
- * **Respect Privacy:** Adhere to all redactions found in the source documents. Do not attempt to use this data to doxx or harass individuals.
59
- * **Victim Dignity:** Treat all information regarding potential victims with extreme care and respect.
60
 
61
- ### Prohibited Uses
62
- * **No Fine-Tuning:** Do not use this dataset to train or fine-tune generative AI models. The risk of generating hallucinations regarding sensitive legal matters is too high.
63
- * **No Harassment:** Do not use this tool to target private individuals.
64
- * **No Commercial Exploitation:** This data is for public interest and educational purposes.
