For those serious about declassification and research, feast your eyes upon the National Security Archive's blog Unredacted. Unredacted offers news on government secrecy, tips for filing and pursuing pesky Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, as well as strategies to wind through the maze of accessing classified documents. For instance, here's a diagram breaking down the FOIA process, step by step. A neat blog worth your time if this sort of jazz tickles your fancy.
For those who are unaware of this organization, the National Security Archive is not a government agency or publication arm. Instead, the National Security Archive is staffed with academics, lawyers, and journalists based out of George Washington University. They rely on prodigious researchers and are not afraid to use their rights to documents with FOIA requests and lawsuits to confront government secrecy. Working on historic and contemporary issues, the National Security Archive is a conduit of knowledge and, in my opinion, unparalleled in their accomplishments.
