When the Epstein documents started dropping, everyone was talking about it — but nobody really understood what was in them. Conspiracy theories filled the void. At Harvard Business School, the questions kept coming up: How did this person accumulate so much wealth with no clear business? How did someone gain access to the most powerful circles in the world? How did this go on for so long?

The documents were public. But scattered across court filings, congressional releases, and FOIA dumps, they were practically impossible to search. So we built this archive — not to push a narrative, but to give the public the actual data.
