USVI Public Records

A VI Update Project · Brian LoudenThe territory’s public record — kept public.
The U.S. Virgin Islands’ public record

Every record.
One address.

In the territory, government reports vanish from official sites, audits go unpublished, and links die. This is the U.S. Virgin Islands’ permanent public record — the documents, the databases behind them, and the money trails that connect them — archived, verified, and free for anyone to search, from any phone. Kept independent so it can’t quietly disappear. Why this exists

Documents

The Document Vault

Audits, acts of the Legislature, financial reports, court records, 990s — every document an archival copy with its original source and an integrity fingerprint.

Read

The Reading Room

Not everything here is evidence. Newspapers, photographs, maps, film and recordings — laid out by decade rather than by shelf, and turnable page by page.

Databases

The Shadow Ledger

The query room. Every government payment, budget line, court docket, federal award and audit finding — sortable, filterable, exportable to the cent.

Law

The Statute Room

Every act of the Legislature since 1998 — the signed act as enacted, archived and downloadable. The Virgin Islands Code, and what the law says today, are being built.

Moving in next at this address: the GVI audits tracker (built on the census of every known audit of the territorial government — its core corpus became queryable in the Shadow Ledger on July 26) and the federal-money dashboards, folding into the database room. One place, on purpose — less spread, more record.
