'• •• • The image is a graphic that serves to watermark declassified documents from The Black Vault. It features a stylized depiction of a bank vault door on the left side, with a glowing blue light emanating from within. Text on the right side explains that the document was obtained from The Black Vault, an online database of declassified government documents, specifically from the MKULTRA/Mind Control Collection, which contains over 20,000 declassified pages from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The text also provides a URL for accessing the collection. There are no photographs of people, locations, equipment, or subjects, nor are there any handwritten annotations, signatures, stamps, forms, diagrams, tables, or redactions present in the image. The visual content primarily consists of the bank vault graphic and the explanatory text. The document is a black and white, typed memorandum from the United States Government dated November 20, 1951, concerning "Liaison with Project Artichoke." It features several handwritten annotations, including numerical and alphabetical markings in the margins. The text is partially obscured by redactions, indicated by solid black bars, particularly in the list of individuals designated for liaison duty and in the body of the text describing contact and authorization procedures. There are no photographs, diagrams, or visual evidence of experimental procedures present on the page.
