Deep Dives Research Challenge - Wikileaks Archive
This brings us to to Deep Dives #15 and it's now more important than ever to dig deep into the material Wikileaks has made public. Deep Dives has previously hosted seven research challenges into the organization's archive and has uncovered a wide range of underreported articles thanks to Wikileaks.
It's time to get back to digging in the vaults and back to building an immutable collection of research on chain.
As is customary at #deepdives we're returning to the mountainous collection that makes up the Wikileaks archive. Arguably the most trusted publicly available archive and one of the largest collections of raw government documents, files, emails, and cables anywhere across the internet.

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.
