Greenpeace recently launched a website called Greenpeace Investigations that they will be using to archive their source materials from past research projects. The site includes scanned Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, fact sheets, reports and materials contributed by whistleblowers. They are currently scanning all of the Greenpeace magazines between 1980-1990 to add to the archive, which will be a great resource for people researching all types of corporations.
Each item has an HTML text version on its resource page, presumably for better searchability via search engines. They also offer the original PDF, which is great from a journalistic perspective, considering the need for source materials in any type of news writing. The website is ordered by "collections" so you can look at all of the relevant documents that relate to a specific investigation that Greenpeace has done.
I anticipate that this body of work will expose many more corporate crimes by bolstering existing corporate accountability research, allowing citizen journalists to mine these sources, creating follow up investigations and teasing out more details from the great work that Greenpeace has done, if it delivers on its promise:
"Greenpeace Investigations is a searchable library that contains investigative campaign research conducted by Greenpeace worldwide. It consists of thousands of documents that were obtained through our campaign efforts, FOIA requests, legal proceedings and whistleblowers. We believe that our investigative efforts and campaign documents should be made public as part of our ongoing effort to expose environmental crimes and their perpetrators."
