Visually, it features a stylized representation of a bank vault door on the left side, rendered in metallic tones with blue lighting effects. To the right of the vault, bold, stylized white text reads "THE BLACK VAULT." Below this, a block of smaller white text explains that the document was obtained from this online database of declassified government documents, specifically mentioning the MKULTRA/Mind Control Collection. The text concludes with a URL in bright yellow: "http://mkultra.theblackvault.com". There are no photographs of people, locations, equipment, or subjects, nor are there any handwritten annotations, signatures, official stamps, forms, diagrams, tables, redactions, or visual evidence of experimental procedures. The document is a memorandum dated June 27, 1952, discussing "Project ARTICHOKE". Several sections of the document are heavily obscured by black redactions, obscuring names, titles, and portions of the core text. Handwritten annotations include a circled "152" in the top right corner, a doodle resembling a "5", and what appears to be a checkmark next to "AD (Admin.) for Sec.". There is also a list of "Copies" with corresponding abbreviations, indicating distribution information, some of which is also partially redacted. No photographs, diagrams, or experimental procedures are visible.
