Documents
Every document on this site, with a hash so anyone can check a file has not changed.
Our requests and appeals and each agency's letters, fee notices and determinations are published as they happen. Records an agency produced are published with its findings, after the agency has had seven days to review a draft. See Methods.
File names begin with a date. For a record the agency produced, such as a policy, a contract or minutes, it is the document's own date, or the day we received it when the document has none. For a letter, notice, invoice or fee form, it is the day it reached us, which is the day the Act counts; the date the agency wrote on it is in the title. For our own filings, it is the day we sent them.

Notes
- Files are published as received, except where the redaction column says otherwise. We redact the names of officers who ran searches, employee names in internal records, members of the public who spoke at meetings, and all contact details, plates and case numbers. We do not redact public officials acting in a public capacity. See Methods.
- Our own requests and appeals are published as filed, with the requester's contact details omitted. Where a filing was signed by hand, the site carries a typed copy of the same text.
- Agencies often produce image-only PDFs, with no text layer, in place of the original files. The file the agency produced is the record. Where we have extracted text by OCR, that text is our working copy for analysis.
- The library holds our requests and appeals and the agency letters and portal messages we have saved. A message that exists only on an agency's portal thread may be missing.
- A request number links to the request's page on the agency's NextRequest portal where there is one. Some portals show that page only to the requester and the agency.
- The hash is SHA-256 of the file as published. The manifest is at /data/documents.csv.
