The Memory Hole was a website edited by Russ Kick; launched on July
10, 2002, last post on May 11, 2009,[1] with a successor website
appearing in June 2016. Before being hacked in June 2009,[2] the site
was devoted to preserving and publishing material that is in danger of
being lost, is hard to find, or is not widely known. Topics include
government files, corporate memos, court documents, police reports and
eyewitness statements, Congressional testimony, reports from various
sources, maps, patents, web pages, photographs, video, sound
recordings, news articles, and books. The name is a tribute to the
"memory hole" from George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, a slot
into which government officials deposit politically inconvenient
documents and records for destruction.[3]

One of the most noticeable actions was the publication of several
hundred photos depicting the coffins of U.S. soldiers fallen in Iraq.
These were obtained by Kick by filing a request based on the Freedom
of Information Act. The photos sparked a controversy regarding the
publication of war photos, public opinion and the behavior of the U.S.
government.[4]

The website is the 2005 winner of the Project on Government
Oversight's "Beyond the Headlines" Award.[5]

A successor website, The Memory Hole 2, was launched by Kick on June 16, 2016.
