The Special Branch Files Project is an initiative run by journalists, academics, researchers and volunteers. Launched in January 2016, we aim to expand the collection and invite anyone who wishes to share further files, analysis or to support the project in any other way – including financially – to get in touch. Do have a look at our Forthcoming Files and Wish List page!
