Documents in the Alaska public interest, shared safely.
DenaliDrop is an independent, non-commercial dead drop for documents and tips about Alaska public life — and a public archive of what we verify and publish. It is built so that we cannot identify our sources, even if we wanted to.
What belongs here
Material the public has a right to see, that you can’t safely raise through normal channels:
- Government records, contracts, budgets, and procurement documents
- Internal communications showing waste, fraud, abuse, or misconduct
- Data and reports being withheld from the public
- Evidence of conflicts of interest or improper influence in Alaska politics
Not sure if it fits? If it’s in the public interest, send it and let us assess. We publish only what we can verify and responsibly redact.
Why it’s safe
No identity, no logs
No account, no email, no name — and we record no IP addresses.
Encrypted on arrival
Your submission is sealed to a key kept offline. A seized server reveals only ciphertext.
No JavaScript
No scripts, no trackers. Works in Tor Browser at its safest setting.
Before you submit
- Use the Tor Browser and our .onion address (shown above).
- Use a personal device and network you control — not a work computer.
- Scrub documents for hidden metadata (PDF/Office author info, photo GPS).
- Write down the codename you’re given, to read our replies.
For journalists
Everything in the archive is published for the public and free to report on. We verify and redact before publishing; to confirm provenance or request underlying records, reach us through secure contact. Please don’t republish in ways that could re-identify a source.
Who runs this
DenaliDrop is an independent, non-commercial public-interest project. We accept no payment to publish or to suppress material, and we weigh every submission on the public interest alone. Because the system is built so we cannot identify sources, we cannot be compelled to expose them.
