About and method
Sourcing rules, rights policy, and how to send a correction to a FRAME archive.
Sourcing rules
A FRAME archive publishes primary sources that are in the public domain. Each item has its own page. That page names who made the item, when it was made, where it is held, and the URL the text or image was taken from. A sentence of prose that states a fact names the source it comes from.
The writing is neutral. The same standard of evidence applies to every person, party, country, and era. Where the record shows a difference in scale, intent, or context, the page says so as plainly as it says what is shared. The hub does not rewrite an archive's pages and does not take a side those pages do not take.
Material that people today find offensive is not dropped, cropped, or softened because it is offensive. An archive shows it as it was, with the citation, and with a short content note where that archive uses one.
Rights policy
An item is hosted only when it is public domain, or under an open licence the archive has checked. The item page states which, and points at the holding institution. If the rights are not clear, the item is not hosted.
This hub does not host those items. It links to the archive that does. There are no advertisements. Text written for theframearchive.org is licensed CC BY 4.0. Scans and documents on an archive keep the rights stated on their own pages.
A link from this site to an archive is an ordinary link.
Corrections
A wrong date, a misread name, a bad citation, or a rights error belongs to the archive that published the page. Open an issue on that archive's repository. The repository is named on the archive's card and in the index.
A correction to this hub, a count, a link, or a line on this page, belongs on AXIA-Enterprises/theframearchive. Say what is wrong, where it appears, and the source that shows the right reading.
The counts on the cards are the figures this hub has on file, dated in the archive list. They are not a live query of the other sites.
