Executive summary

The unredacted Epstein flight logs hosted on Archive.org and the flight-log collection on DocumentCloud include handwritten and transcribed passenger entries that explicitly list Jeffrey (Jeff) Epstein and, in multiple places, names reported as Sarah Kellen, Nadia Marcinkova, and Jean‑Luc Brunel among others [1] [2] [3]. These hosted files are large OCR'd reproductions of the original logs and manifest excerpts, but a comprehensive, line‑by‑line list of every name requires direct querying of the PDF/DJVU/Text files provided on Archive.org or the searchable DocumentCloud viewer [4] [5].

1. What the Archive.org and DocumentCloud holdings are

Archive.org’s "EPSTEIN FLIGHT LOGS UNREDACTED" collection bundles multiple formats — PDF, EPUB, OCR’d HTML, DJVU text and XML— reproducing what the uploader called unredacted flight logs, while DocumentCloud holds a 118‑page "Epstein flight logs released in USA vs. Maxwell" file that mirrors many of the same entries [4] [6] [5]. The Archive package explicitly contains a full PDF and machine‑readable transcriptions that show individual flight entries and passenger initials or names as transcribed by the uploader’s OCR process [4] [1]. DocumentCloud’s copy is presented as a court‑related release and offers its own text extraction for search [5].

2. Specific names that appear in those hosted files

Multiple pages reproduced in the archived collections show the name "Jeff" or "Jeffrey Epstein" as the primary account holder on many flights [1]. The Archive OCR and the PDF transcriptions also contain entries transcribed or quoted in external commentary that name Sarah Kellen, Nadia Marcinkova, and Jean‑Luc Brunel as passengers on particular flights — for example a February 3, 2005 entry cited in the files and accompanying notes that lists Epstein alongside Sarah Kellen, Nadia Marcinkova and Jean‑Luc Brunel, plus references to "three females" on the manifest [2] [3]. The DJVU plain‑text stream and PDF reproduced in the Archive collection contain many shorthand initials (for example "JE, SK, NM, JLB" in snippets) that map to those same names in the transcriptions [2] [1].

3. Caveats, disputes and contests about completeness

Scholarly and legal context included in the same Archive materials cautions that some manifests provided to courts were incomplete or differ between collections, and that certain pages or names may be missing or were supplied to authorities by third parties — notably that Alan Dershowitz provided some flight manifests to police and that discrepancies exist between manifests and other logs [2]. The uploader’s labeling as "unredacted" and the presence of OCR artefacts mean there are transcription errors and incomplete reproductions in some files [4], and the DocumentCloud set is presented as "released in USA vs. Maxwell" which implies it is a subset tied to that litigation rather than an authoritative consolidated master list [5].

4. Practical limits to providing a definitive, exhaustive list here

The archive bundle alone contains millions of characters across multiple file formats (PDFs, XML, DJVU text) and the DocumentCloud file spans many pages of entries; the available snippets show clear examples of named individuals but do not allow a reliable, single compressed list of every proper name appearing across all images and transcriptions without programmatic search of the hosted files themselves [4] [6] [5]. Therefore, while specific names such as Jeffrey Epstein, Sarah Kellen, Nadia Marcinkova and Jean‑Luc Brunel demonstrably appear in the reproduced logs and text streams, claiming an exhaustive roster would require direct extraction from the Archive.org PDF/DJVU or the DocumentCloud text viewer [1] [2] [3].

5. How to verify and next steps

The most direct route to verify every name that appears in these hosted "unredacted" logs is to download the Archive.org PDF or DJVU text (EPSTEIN FLIGHT LOGS UNREDACTED.pdf / djvu.txt) and use a search tool to extract proper‑name strings, or use DocumentCloud’s text search on its flight‑log document; both sources are explicitly provided in the Archive index and on DocumentCloud [4] [5]. Readers should also note the logged legal context and disputes documented in the same files — for instance court filings and commentary about manifest completeness [2] [3] — so any list derived from the OCR should be cross‑checked against the original images where possible before drawing firm conclusions.
