Start with a civic question
Use the Citizen Analysis framework to examine a claim, compare supporting and contrary evidence, identify unresolved issues and reach a conclusion proportional to the record.

JANUARY 6 RESEARCH TOOLS
Start with a question, an identifier or a record family—and move through the project without losing the distinction between evidence, findings, allegations, testimony and legal outcomes.
This hub is a public navigation layer for Memory, Record & Republic. It does not create new factual conclusions. It helps readers locate the structured record used to evaluate them.
Choose Your Starting Point
How do you want to research the record?
Follow a J6 record ID
Use the Research Index to determine which record family an identifier belongs to and follow its cross-references to related evidence and records.
Open Research Index →Start with evidence
Review primary sources, official records, government findings, court findings and later developments before moving to interpretations or conclusions.
Open Evidence Ledger →Start with chronology
Use the Timeline and Event Record to locate what happened when, then follow the linked records for context. Sequence alone does not establish causation.

Know what kind of record you are reading
J6-E · Evidence
Sources, official records and evidentiary classifications.
J6-C · Claims
Claims separated from the evidence used to assess them.
J6-T · Timeline
Events and chronology with stable identifiers.
J6-S · Security
Warnings, intelligence, requests, authorization and response.
J6-L · Legal
Proceedings, prosecutions, rulings, dispositions and clemency.
J6-V · Voices
Testimony, observation, interviews and conflicting accounts.
J6-A · Analysis
Structured citizen-analysis questions and evidence assessment.
Research rule: a cross-reference shows relevance, not proof. A date does not establish motive. A charge does not establish guilt. A congressional finding is not a judicial conviction. Clemency does not rewrite the historical procedural record. Testimony should be evaluated according to whether it is direct, secondhand, corroborated, disputed or later revised.
Recommended Research Path
Move from source to conclusion
Evidence → Timeline → Institutional Response → Legal Record → Testimony → Citizen Analysis → Record Maintenance
When later information changes the record, use Record Maintenance to understand what was verified, corrected, superseded or archived and why.

Start with the record. Follow the source. Preserve the category. Compare what conflicts. Stop where the evidence stops.
