This seems like a good thread to ask this: is there any way to find out if a document has been declassified? I ask this because I came into possession of a document from 1945 which is marked classified (it is a prototype computer user manual) and I would like to make sure that it is actually declassified. If it isn't, then even asking about it seems... problematic. I expect that it would be, but with the amount of overclassification that occurs, I can't bet on it.
At some point I'd love to donate it to the ACM museum or something, but I don't want to get in trouble over a historical document, so I'm just keeping it for now.
