Build v224
Library Reading Room
This is the next layer of the rebuild: the supplied source library is now treated as something you can browse directly, rather than only as material behind the research pages.
Preservation rule: these are source files, not automatically verified historical facts. Some dates, names and labels may still need confirmation later. The files stay here while the website is built around them.
343 source files
285 images, 53 PDFs and 5 other supplied files are retained in archive-source.
Build first, verify later
The working archive can be made easier to use now. Detailed date checking can follow without deleting or rewriting the original trail.
108 featured source filesShowing a practical first index; the full source folder remains preserved.

How to use this room
- Start with a source that interests you — a venue, artist, event, photograph or memorabilia item.
- Follow the linked research page where one exists.
- Keep the original source wording separate from later interpretation.
- Mark a date for later confirmation rather than silently changing it now.
Next rebuild layer: connect more source files to the relevant event, venue and artist pages so the archive becomes a web of evidence rather than a pile of separate documents.
