During the course of the Reliable Information Access (RIA) workshop, a data archive was created to hold the outputs of the many experiments being done. This archive was designed to serve both as an organizational structure to support the researchers at the workshop itself and as a public archive of experimental retrieval results. This article describes the structure of the data in the archive and the ways in which the data may be accessed.
