Summaries prepared in 1979 by agents at the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
United States Department of Justice.
This page provides a link to the FBI Tape Summaries which the agency completed on all tapes found in Jonestown, Guyana. The tapes which are in possession of this website are indicated with a hashtag (#), and copies of these tapes may be ordered directly from Fielding M. McGehee III, at fieldingmcgehee@yahoo.com. To order any audiotape directly from the FBI, write: Freedom of Information/Privacy Act Section, Office of Public and Congressional Affairs, FBI, Washington, DC 20535-0001.
This listing also includes links to transcripts, summaries and MP3s (including MP3s for tapes which have not yet been transcribed).
Even before it prepared these summaries, however, the FBI made notes of what was written on the boxes which held the individual tapes and the markings on the cassettes or reel-to-reel tapes themselves. While those identification notes have been incorporated into the summaries above, you can click here for a full listing of the FBI’s preliminary tape identification notes in numerical order.
A second listing of the FBI notes – a chronological list only of
those tapes which seem to have been recorded in Jonestown itself –
appears here.
Any of the 750 tapes in this collection – whether transcribed or not – are available for duplication in cassette form. In addition, about half of the tapes have been digitized and are available as MP3s. Tapes which have been transcribed and/or digitized are indicated throughout the links above.
