About this archive

The Epstein Archive is a curated, read-only reference of people and institutions named in the public record surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case. Unlike a collaborative wiki, it does not accept public edits or new submissions. Entries are written and maintained by the editorial team and updated through the underlying database.

// What this site is

A reference index. Each entry covers one person or institution and links the names found in court filings, depositions, and major investigative reporting to a short, sourced overview. It is not a document host; the underlying primary materials live on the websites of courts, the U.S. Department of Justice, the congressional committees that have released them, and established news outlets.

// What this site is not

Not a verdict, not a list of accusations, and not a tabloid. Being named in a flight log, an address book, or a photograph is not, on its own, evidence of wrongdoing — entries say so plainly when that is the only basis for inclusion. Allegations are described as allegations; convictions as convictions.

// Access tiers

Most entries are public. A subset is gated to signed-in members — typically entries that aggregate information about unidentified accusers, or that depend heavily on uncorroborated reporting. A small number of internal entries (style notes, sourcing rules) are visible only to admins. Sidebar counts reflect what you can see.

// How it’s organised

Entries are grouped by role: principals (the convicted and directly charged), associates (named in the public record), accusers (those who have publicly self-identified), officials (prosecutors, judges, investigators), institutions (banks, properties, foundations), and an “other” bucket for journalists, witnesses, and miscellaneous figures. The search bar matches names, connections, and overviews.

// Technical notes

The site is a small PHP application backed by MySQL/MariaDB, designed to run under XAMPP. The schema and seed entries are in the accompanying SQL dump.
