Sources

Source library

This site is connective tissue, not an archive. The authoritative collections already exist and are maintained by others — we link and credit them here rather than copying them. Public-domain primary sources may be quoted; copyrighted secondary works are listed so you can find them, but never reproduced.

External archives — credited, linked, not copied

The primary record lives here. Spend your time in these.

Public-domain primary sources — quotable

Out of copyright; may be quoted directly on this site.

Secondary works — listed, never reproduced

In copyright. We paraphrase briefly and point you to the original; we do not quote these at length.
