Free archive tools

Work with the document trail before you cite it.

These tools run entirely in your browser. They do not collect input, require a signup, or send data to a backend. Reich Files keeps them on the documents/legal-history lane and links out to theorgone.com for orgone-science tools.

Tools are aids, not authorities.

Each output points back to court opinions, finding aids, item records, or official access pages. Use the tools to sort the evidence, then cite the underlying source.

Start with legal records, source archive, and research gaps when a claim needs stronger support than an interactive summary.
