Contribution Flow
To keep materials reviewable years from now, each contribution should describe its source, date, public status, and any uncertainty. The public site is intentionally lean for now, so new content should pass permission and structure checks first.
- Share a LeadDescribe the material type, date range, and public status
- Complete SourcesAdd references, citation format, and version differences
- Prepare the PageWrite the matching language page or add permission notes
- Review and PublishDeploy automatically after Pull Request review

Ways to Support¶
The site currently prioritizes free static hosting and public repository collaboration. Non-code support matters too: contacting material holders, confirming permission, writing image captions, maintaining glossaries, and keeping translation references all improve the archive directly.
Please submit only materials that you own, are authorized to share, or can publicly cite. Personal privacy, unpublished photos, commercial manuscripts, and private chat records should not be published directly. When citing material, preserve the source, author, year, and a verifiable link whenever possible.
