The Jonestown Report, November 2001, Volume 3
 
 

Transcription project, tape releases continue

The editors of the jonestown report continue to upload transcripts and summaries from the hundreds of audiotapes which the FBI recovered from Jonestown following the deaths in 1978. More than 60 are currently available on the "Alternative Considerations of Jonestown and Peoples Temple" website, which may be found at
http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/~remoore/jonestown/tapes/tapes.html. A complete list of the transcribed tapes, catalogued by FBI designations and with short descriptions as to contents, may also be found at http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/~remoore/jonestown/tapes/summaries.html.

In addition, the only known compilation of the FBI's summaries of all 971 tapes may be found at http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/~remoore/jonestown/tapes/fbi.html.

The editors of the jonestown report also continue to receive releases of additional tapes every month from the FBI, and have almost 400 on hand. The websites indicates the tapes we have with the pound symbol (#) on the compilation of FBI summaries. We have filed requests for the balance of the collection, except for those which are blank or which contain only music, and will make their availability known as we receive them.

For copies of any of the tapes in our possession -- whether or not we have summarized them yet -- you may write to us through our e-mail address (fieldingmcgehee@yahoo.com) or our street address (Fielding M. McGehee III, 3553 Eugene Place, San Diego, CA 92116). The cost for duplication and postage is $2.00 per tape.
