This personnel list for the basement diagram was likely provided by or prepared in consultation with Lt. Jack Revill, commander of the Internal Affairs Division of the Dallas Police Department in 1963. After the shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald, Revill and his division conducted an extensive internal investigation. Their conclusion was that the department as a whole was negligent and no one individual (apart from Jack Ruby) was to blame for the shooting of Oswald in police custody. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
In order to ensure its long-term care and preservation and to facilitate public access, the Dallas County District Attorney's Office placed their Jack Ruby Trial Collection (sometimes referred to as "the DA's Jack Ruby file") on long-term loan with The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza in 2017. The Museum is working to make the entire collection accessible through this online collections database. To find out more about this collection or to access materials not yet included here, contact the Museum's Reading Room at readingroom@jfk.org. - Megan Bryant, Director of Collections & Interpretation
This item, along with materials from the DA's Ruby file (which is on loan to the Museum) and from the Museum's permanent collection, briefly appeared in a temporary display on the Museum's seventh floor in 2017. - Lindsey Richardson, Curator of Collections
