Download the shown sources as plain text, including original addresses, notes and citing-claim labels. No documents are fetched.
Personal reading notes are your own text, not evidence assessments or editorial source notes. Open a source’s note below and choose Save note explicitly. Notes stay in this browser, separate for each edition; research links do not share them. Download personal notes keeps all current drafts, including hidden and unqueued sources, as readable TXT (not an import file). Storage is not encrypted or account-synced and may be cleared by your browser. Keep a download before leaving with unsaved drafts. Avoid simultaneous editing in several tabs: observed changes are protected, but browser storage is not transactional. Delete personal note removes only that source’s saved record and current draft after confirmation; downloaded copies remain. Personal note privacy and deletion.
Search source IDs (for example, plato-timaeus-mit), details, categories, or citing claim IDs (for example, plato-date), titles and status labels. Every word must match; case and accents do not matter.

Your personal notes
Find saved notes, current drafts and records needing attention across the entire library, including hidden and unqueued sources. Private filters stay on this page: they are not saved, copied into research links or applied to the catalogue. Download personal notes still includes all current notes and pending clearings, not just this view. Personal text is not evidence or editorial provenance.
This page-local order applies to the overview, previous/next personal-note reading and matching TXT download only. Attention first puts storage warnings before unsaved drafts, then clean saved notes; ties keep catalogue order. Full backups keep catalogue order. Reset or reload restores catalogue order.
Download matching personal notes includes only records matching all three private filters, in the selected personal-note order, with their current text and separately labelled source provenance. It includes empty and attention records, but never unreadable saved bytes. This file contains private text and filter criteria: share it only deliberately. Use Download personal notes or Download personal notes JSON for whole-note backups.

DOJ original interview transcript, 24 July 2025 — separate edition
Original publication linked at justice.gov/maxwell-interview; pp. 157–159 independently checked. No EFTA footer; redactions differ from the current EFTA edition. Confirms what Maxwell said, not the truth of her account; not an email.

Maxwell’s DOJ interview: TerraMar in the Epstein records
EFTA02846680.pdf; transcript/PDF pp. 157–159: p. 157 lines 11–25 (Bates EFTA02846836), p. 158 lines 2–21 (EFTA02846837), p. 159 lines 4–17 (EFTA02846838). A direct documentary bridge: TerraMar is explicitly discussed in an interview published in the Epstein Library, and Maxwell herself connected its closure to events surrounding Epstein. Limits: This is Maxwell’s own retrospective account and self-report, not a DOJ or judicial finding and not an email. It is not independent confirmation of her expeditions, partnerships or equipment ownership. It establishes neither Epstein financing nor criminal use of TerraMar, a submarine-pilot licence, an underwater base or Atlantis activity. It gives no precise US founding or closure date; this selected review is not a full-corpus search.

TerraMar (UK): incorporation and dissolution register
TERRAMAR (UK), company 08661523; overview fields “Incorporated on” and “Dissolved on”; linked Officers tab, Maxwell appointment entry (HTML, no page numbers). Official administrative records of a UK legal entity and Maxwell’s recorded role, with dates separate from the US nonprofit’s operating history. Limits: This UK company is not the US TerraMar Project Inc.; its incorporation and dissolution dates must not substitute for US founding or closure dates. Companies House does not check the accuracy of filed information. Registration does not establish actual conservation work, funding origins or criminal activity.

TerraMar (UK): charitable objects and registration history
TERRAMAR (UK), charity 1154106, database ID 5040517; Governance / Registration history and Charitable objects (HTML, no page numbers). A separately recorded charitable purpose and administrative removal date for the UK entity, rather than a reconstruction from US shutdown reports. Limits: The UK charity removal on 30 December 2019 is not the company dissolution on 3 December 2019 and is not the US nonprofit’s closure date. Stated objects do not verify actual conservation results, funding sources or legal control of international waters.

TerraMar Project Inc.: 2018 tax filing and officer loan
EIN 45-5091884; e-file ObjectId 201911359349206166; Form 990-EZ p. 2, Part III line 32 and Part IV; Schedule L p. 1, Part II; Schedule O explanation of Part II line 26. Viewer submission: 15 May 2019. The organisation’s reported officer role and outstanding loan balance supply concrete financial context. The amount is a balance owed to Maxwell, not the amount of new advances during 2018. Limits: These are the organisation’s own filed figures, not independent IRS verification or an audit. They do not establish the origin of Maxwell’s money, Epstein funding, money laundering or criminal use of TerraMar. Zero reported program-service expenses do not establish that no public activity occurred. This is the US nonprofit, not TerraMar (UK).

UT Dallas advertises Maxwell’s high-seas seminar
“Learn About Efforts to Protect High Seas at Free, Public Seminar”, 13 November 2014; opening announcement and speaker-description paragraphs; post ID 9617 (HTML). Contemporaneous evidence of an institutionally advertised ocean-advocacy platform and of how the organiser described her TerraMar role. Limits: An announcement does not prove that the seminar took place or independently certify scientific qualifications or a submarine-pilot licence. Its reference to the United Nations is not a UN recording or independently checked evidence of a particular UN appearance.

Second Circuit: Maxwell’s conviction affirmed
United States v. Maxwell, No. 22-1426-cr, Document 109-1, 3634097; opinion pp. 2–7 and 26 (PDF pp. 2–7 and 26). The combined PDF also contains the 25 November 2024 rehearing denial on PDF p. 27. A judicially established Maxwell–Epstein connection, not a guilt-by-association inference from ocean advocacy or from a name appearing in a released file. Limits: This opinion does not establish that TerraMar participated in the crimes, or establish submarine operations, an underwater base or Atlantis activity. A review of this identified opinion is not a search of all court records or the full Epstein Library.

The procedural result and its date: the petition seeking Supreme Court review was denied. Limits: A denial of certiorari is not a new decision on the merits or an endorsement of every statement in the record. This docket does not establish a TerraMar or underwater-operations connection.

DOJ release notice: publication does not authenticate every submission
“Department of Justice Publishes 3.5 Million Responsive Pages in Compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act”; release 26-84; paragraph warning about public submissions (HTML, no Bates number). An explicit publisher warning that release provenance and the truth of material inside the release are different questions. Limits: Government publication does not authenticate or verify every submitted allegation. The notice is release metadata, not an ocean-related email or evidence of Atlantis, TerraMar funding or wrongdoing by a named person.

DOJ production letter: review and format limitations
“Epstein Files Transparency Act – Production of Department Materials”; six-page letter, p. 2 (reported production total), pp. 4–5 (privileges, language, technical formats and email rendering); no EFTA Bates number. A primary account of the department’s publication process and stated reasons why a public release or a text search may not capture all material. Limits: This is a DOJ administrative self-report, not independent verification of completeness. It does not establish an ocean-related email, a TerraMar funding link or an Atlantis connection. This dossier reviews selected documents, not the full corpus.

DOJ Section 3 report: scope categories and names in context

A primary explanation of release scope and a warning against treating a word or name appearing in released material as a substantive connection. Limits: The scope category is not evidence of a particular vessel or submarine. A name or mention does not establish guilt or wrongdoing. This administrative report is not a court finding and does not establish TerraMar, Atlantis or underwater operations; its list of names is not reproduced here.
