Journalists are poring through 24,000 pages of former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin's e-mails, after they were released by officials in the US state.
News organisations first requested the move in 2008, when she was chosen from relative obscurity to become the Republican vice-presidential candidate.
The documents were released on paper. News organisations have begun scrambling to process and scan them.
Mrs Palin may be considering a run for the Republican presidential nomination.
The state is releasing about e-mails from Mrs Palin's first 21 months as governor, but authorities withheld about 2,000 pages, citing executive privilege and privacy concerns.
The treasurer of Mrs Palin's political action committee said on Friday that the e-mails show a "very engaged Governor Sarah Palin being the CEO of her state".
"The e-mails detail a governor hard at work," he said.Reporters from several news organisations arrived in the Alaskan capital of Juneau on Friday in order to sift through the documents, which are only being released in paper form, and disseminate them to the public.
