DocumentCloud

DocumentCloud is both a repository of primary source documents and a tool for document-based investigative reporting. Think of the repository as a card catalog for primary source documents. They’re building tools that accelerate the work of reporters who need to make sense of large sets of documents. (You can use it on small sets, too.)
