What is FOIA and how can it empower your historical research?
This webinar introduces historians and researchers to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) as a vital tool for accessing hidden government records, supporting archival research, and promoting transparency.
Hosted by the Organization of American Historians (OAH) and led by experts from American Oversight — Alyssa Lopez, Emma Lewis, and Khloe Dennison — this session covers:
A brief history and legal foundation of FOIA
How to file strong, specific FOIA requests
Strategies for overcoming agency delays, denials, and redactions
Real-world case studies involving immigration detention, January 6 investigations, and the COVID-19 response
Through practical examples and live Q&A, the panelists demonstrate how FOIA can open new research paths, preserve government accountability, and strengthen public understanding of U.S. history.
