SERIES
ROSENBERG CASE FILES
7/22/1947 – 1/13/1985
ARC ID 278744
cu. ft.
This series consists of the working files of the United States Attorney for the
Southern District of New York concerning the investigation of Ethel Rosenberg, Julius
Rosenberg, and Morton Sobell. The files include witness lists, transcripts of pre-trial
testimony, witness statements, correspondence, transcripts of grand jury testimony,
copies of criminal court records, Freedom of Information Act petitions, and copies or
records furnished to the United States Attorney's office by other government agencies.
The records relate to the Justice Department's investigations into atomic espionage and
Communist activities in the United States. The files also include investigations and court
records relating to Abraham Brothman, Miriam Moskowitz, and Harry Gold.
Some files may include records from grand jury investigation. Records may
include testimony, subpoenas, witness lists, juror lists, and notes created as a result of
testimony. These records are closed under rule 6(e) of the Federal Rules of Criminal
Procedure in perpetuity unless opened by court order, and exempt from disclosure under
5 U.S.C. 552(b)(3). NARA produced finding aids that include specific reference to
witnesses or jurors are also prohibited from being disclosed.
Records in this group are also covered by provisions of the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA). Records less than 75 years old must be screened prior to release
to patrons. See NARA 1601 for more information regarding the screening procedure.
The grand jury transcripts have been released pursuant to a court order in the case
In re Petition of National Security Archive (S.D.N.Y. 2008).
The records are organized in four sections: U.S. Attorney’s Files, Grand Jury Records,
Court Records, and Other Government Agency Records. Original Order was maintained
except where noted.
