PLUS D and searchable hidden histories

The WIKILEAKS Public Library of US Diplomacy

The WIKILEAKS Public Library of US Diplomacy (PlusD) holds the world's largest searchable collection of United States confidential, or formerly confidential, diplomatic communications. As of April 8, 2013 it holds 2 million records comprising approximately 1 billion words. The collection covers US involvements ...in, and diplomatic or intelligence reporting on, every country on earth. It is the single most significant body of geopolitical material ever published.

The PlusD collection, built and curated by WikiLeaks, is updated from a variety of sources, including leaks, documents released under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and documents released by the US State Department systematic declassification review.

We are also preparing the processed PlusD collection for standalone distribution. If you are interested in obtaining a copy, please email: plusd@wikileaks.org and put 'Request' in the subject line.

If you have unclassified or declassified US diplomatic documents to add to the PlusD collection please contact: plusd@wikileaks.org and put 'Submission' in the subject line. Please note that for inclusion in the PlusD Library we are generally unable to consider submissions of less than 1,000 documents at a time.

Google Account Activity

https://www.google.com/settings/activity/signup?hl=en

Google Account Activity Reports give you a monthly summary of your account activity across many Google products.

With Account Activity Reports you can learn what's going on in your account, e.g. how many emails you have sent and received, how often you have searched on Google, from which countries you have logged in and ho...w often your YouTube videos have been viewed.

Every month the Account Activity Report will collect and summarize data across your Google account – e.g. sent emails or top searches. Data deletion at the data source, e.g. in your Web History will have no impact on issued reports, however reports can be deleted at any time.

Security Note: To maintain your safety and privacy we may sometimes ask you to verify your password even if you are already signed in. This may happen more frequently for services involving your personal information.
