Deep Dives 9 - Wikileaks Archive
Wikileaks has built a trusted reputation for releasing authentic documents that, to date, have never been proven to be forgeries or fake. This is why founder Julian Assange characterizes the organization’s leaks as “pristine”.
This round of the research challenge is completely open-ended.
“WikiLeaks is a giant library of the world’s most persecuted documents. We give asylum to these documents, we analyze them, we promote them and we obtain more.”
- Julian Assange
The Wikileaks archive contains well over 10 million documents Wikileaks Docs have been cited in over 28,000 academic papers and US court filings
https://www.wikileaks.org/
Participants are able to select topics from a broad range of categories including: international politics, the economy, war, military, corporations, trade, intelligence, etc. and much more. The archive really offers endless possibilities. Use the custom search feature to sharpen your focus.

The Wikileaks Index
Back in late 2016, Wikileaks revealed the existence of a little known index that combines onsite and offsite resources relating to Wikileaks material. This invaluable tool helps make the mammoth amount of documents available on the Wikileaks website more accessible and systematic.

Always Exercise Caution
When engaging in research of government websites, intelligence agencies and whistleblower sites, such as Wikileaks, we strongly urge you to take all necessary precautions.
We recommend that you take the time to properly explore available privacy tools and VPNs.

Hey all, I have my entry ready. I read through the index for days lol. https://steemit.com/deepdives/@gregorypatrick/the-truth-about-catholic-hospitals-and-their-sterilization-policy-wikileaks-documents-reveal-truth
I threw in some of the interesting files I found that I couldn't work into a post at the end of the article after the main idea came across, couldn't help but try and see if anyone else could do something with them.
Good idea @gregorypatrick, it's always great to share some of the bits and pieces we find - they certainly might be useful to someone else. Also, welcome back to DDs and for contributing, we always appreciate it. Cheers!
I’m just helping a classmate with her makeup essay this month but I’ve resteemed it in case I have some spare time. Thanks for the valuable links.
I got it done just in time ;)
