There are a total of 45 evidence collectibles in Hitman: Absolution. Finding all of them will earn you the Information is Power trophy / achievement. They also give you other small awards such as bonus points and increased instinct. On high difficulties the bonus instinct will come in handy! Finding evidence is also required to complete the challenges of each level. The “Evidence Collector” challenge keeps track of your progress. You can check it out by clicking on “Unlocks” in the Single Player Menu. After collecting the evidence it will be saved automatically and you can quit the level immediately.
The instinct ability will highlight nearby evidence and makes it easier to find everything.
IMPORTANT: Your challenge progress will not be saved on easy difficulty! The trophy / achievement won’t unlock either. You have to play on normal or professional.
