Frequent questions
A few answers about how the archive is organized.
These notes cover the basics: what the site is for, how often it changes, where the public home is, and how to move through the larger sections without hitting dead ends.
A static archive for working notes, references, and project records. It looks like a maintained
documentation and research site because that is the format it is imitating.
Incrementally. Journal entries and dispatches can move more often, while guides and case files tend to
settle into slower maintenance cycles.
The public home is github.com/MerceMay.
That is the most consistent place to follow outward links and current work.
Because real archives are not flat. Indexes, notes, FAQs, case files, and library pages each support a
different way of moving through the same body of material.
The current photography is stored locally with the site, so the visible pages can be copied and served
as a conventional static bundle.
Start with the archive overview, jump to the journal index, then use the library and field guide pages
as side entrances into the deeper material.
