Proactive Disclosure
The NCTR strives to make new records available to Survivors, their families and communities, and the public. One way the NCTR does this is by releasing records through the proactive disclosure of records process. In this process, staff review, redact if necessary, and proactively release sets of records that haven't been made public before. The NCTR has released numerous batches of records through this process, spanning from 2018 to the present. Please return to this page periodically as new batches of records will be made available over time.
Announcements on the NCTR’s social media platforms will be made notifying the public each time a new batch of records is made available.
Follow the links below to see the records that were proactively released for each year.
