The original minutes of the Wannsee Conferece were written up by Adolf Eichmann and sent to all participants of the 85 minute-long luncheon meeting.

The Harvard University "Nuremberg Trials Project" is contained in the Harvard University's law school library which "has more than 1 million original documents relating to the Nuremberg Trials, including transcripts, briefings and evidence files. Many of the texts documented here have become too fragile to permit the public to handle them, so the library has scanned and digitized them to preserve this information and make it available to the public.

The "notes" or minutes were only discovered in the papers of Dr. Martin Luther who deceased in 1945 before the Nurmeberg Trials. It was a stroke of luck for the prosecution. The notes were later explained by Adolf Eichmann who "softened" the impact of the discussions of "extermination" (etc.) by using "bureaucratic language" such as "evacuate" or "deport". All of these terms disguised the intent of genocide.

The Harvard Law Library most likely has the document and would be able to confirm that.
