39,000+ Confidential RJR Documents Released and Posted

This month, IDL staff added a large set of new, previously confidential documents and rolled out our new Data Set; the entire database of IDL metadata and OCR text in downloadable files (in case you needed some light reading of 14 million+ records over the holidays). Keep reading for details...

39,642 new tobacco industry documents were added to the Truth Tobacco Industry Documents archive today:

• 39,512 formerly confidential RJ Reynolds documents
• 5 Philip Morris documents
• 125 Depositions and Trial Transcripts from Engle Progeny cases, some as recent as October 2016

API and Data Sets - Wondering how to download large batches of IDL records at once? How about the entire corpus of documents in IDL for use in data analysis or digital humanities projects? For researchers who would prefer to work with Industry Documents Library (IDL) metadata and OCR text from within their own database systems, these files are now available for download. Please consult our API and Data Set page for more information.
