This archive is built to keep growing as more history is confirmed.

Archive principles

  • Preserve claims with clear dates where possible.
  • Separate confirmed facts from pending review notes.
  • Keep pages linkable and easy to update as new materials appear.

Current status

The archive currently combines in-repo research notes, user-supplied draft notes, and recovered links. As more primary material is attached event by event, status notes can be tightened.
