About the archive

What is Evidence Locker?

Idaho4Archives brings documents, videos, photographs, audio, news, and commentary into a searchable source library. Each record keeps its own title, identifier, context, and link to the original material.

Recognizing the creators who make this archive possible

Public-records requests take time, persistence, and often personal expense. We recognize the creators who request records, pay release fees, follow up with agencies, and share material so others can study it.

Giving credit accurately

The agency that created a record, the person who obtained it, and the person who uploaded or shared a copy may be different. A file appearing in someone’s Drive does not, by itself, identify the original requester. We aim to preserve each supported role rather than crediting only the most recent uploader.

This list is a starting point, not a complete account of everyone’s work. If your contribution is missing or a credit is wrong, contact us with the record link and supporting request or release information so we can check and correct it.

How to use it

1. Browse a collection. Documents are organized by recorded agency or source and document type. Videos offer recording categories and explicitly attributed interviewees. Photos include image categories and related sets where the records establish a connection.
2. Search the archive. Search checks record metadata and available transcript text. Use a name, phrase, place, or source; multiple words narrow the matches. Not every source has a transcript.
3. Open a record. Read its overview, evidence references, and reliability notes. Follow the source link to inspect the original. Some originals remain on external services and depend on their access settings.

Read sources in context

Source documents, creator commentary, and uncertain attributions have different evidentiary weight. Inclusion does not authenticate a source or establish an allegation. Collection names may describe the folder a file came from rather than its author. Automated text extractions should be checked against the original document.

People listed in source context may be mentioned rather than participating in a recording. The Videos interviewee filter uses explicit interview attribution, not incidental mentions.
