DocumentCloud

Zachary M. Steward described DocumentCloud:

Imagine being able to search across the New York Times’ cache of records on Guantánamo Bay detainees, the ACLU’s unrivaled set of documents on detention policy, Jane Mayer’s source material for her coverage of the CIA in The New Yorker, and The Washington Post’s valuable contributions to all of the above. That’s the promise of DocumentCloud

It’s a primary-source document collector, in essence. And it’s a great, great idea.
