More than 500,000 White House Visitor Records Online

July 30, 2010 at 4:45 PM ET by Norm Eisen
Summary: 
As part of his commitment to transparency, President Obama ordered that White House visitor records be released. This White House has released over 500,000 records to date.

In September 2009, the President announced that – for the first time in history – the White House would routinely release visitor records. Today, the White House releases visitor records that were created in April 2010. Today’s release also includes several visitor records created prior to September 16, 2009 that were requested by members of the public during June 2010 pursuant to the White House voluntary disclosure policy. This release brings the grand total of records that this White House has released to well over half a million records. You can view them all in our Disclosures section.

We note that January 2010 records were inadvertently posted twice. That error has been corrected.
