no, tried clicking on the real thing. box oo1 pp 1-810 [ 1 of 14 folders ] nothing comes up am I on the right page?
Binnie, thats what i get too. Is there a link to the actual files/material?
I think you guys are seeing right then. You should see a screen that lists the contents. The contents might be available for research, but not by a click on the internet.
But I think this shows one thing: The government and/or Maas did not burn Joe Valachi's affidavit. It's there.
Those are the real Valachi Papers.
Just in case the link is malfunctioning, here is a cut and paste....

Series 1. The Real Thing: The Expose and Inside Doings of Cosa Nostra.
Extent: 2189 pages.
Arrangement: by type of material.
These papers document the life of Joseph Valachi from 1920 to 1964. They mainly consist of a manuscript which describes the beginnings of Valachi's life of crime and his experiences as a member of Cosa Nostra, commonly known as the Mafia. The manuscript details the inner workings of this organized crime group and the activities of many members of the New York unit of Cosa Nostra. The manuscript is unedited and is written as one would speak. For a more concise, easier to read version of Valachi's story, see The Valachi Papers, by Peter Maas, G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1968.
