FOIA Modernization

This is the main repository for 18F's FOIA modernization effort.

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) grants the public the right to access records from the federal government.

Our work is one of number of commitments towards the modernization of FOIA.

We use the issues for project-wide discussions.

Additional news can be found on 18F's website: 18f.gsa.gov/tags/foia.

Our primary focus right now is working on foia-hub. FOIA Hub is an online tool to guide users to up-to-date FOIA contact and request information across the federal government.

This repository also contains the bulk data that powers FOIA Hub.
