This is a collection of U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) documents related to the comedian Richard "Dick" Claxton Gregory. The documents were declassified in 2014-15. The FBI released the documents to the general public on its web site on August 30, 2017, not long after Gregory's passing on August 19.
Unlike the files released on the FBI's web site, this collection is separated into different files, with each digital file named after the corresponding FBI file number. Most of the documents are excerpts from files, not whole files. The main FBI Headquarters file on Gregory is over 3,000 pages long, and is 100-HQ-440423.
This is not a complete collection of FBI documents on Gregory. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration also has numerous FBI field office files on Gregory which are listed online here. It is unclear whether the FBI is still in possession of one of the most important FBI file's on Gregory-- the Chicago field office "office of origin" file, number 100-CG-40346-- because the file is not listed in NARA's digital catalog as of September, 2017.
In addition, the FBI did not include documents from its COINTELPRO files about activities that targeted Gregory in this release, though copies of some of those documents may be in the FBI's main file on Gregory.
