Sources & archive
A transparent record of what supports the story—and what kind of source each record is.
The working archive
The supplied archive was a starting point, not a substitute for verification.
The project folder contains 21 top-level PDFs totaling 405 pages, original 2019 deal correspondence, saved web pages and two larger archives. The 909 MB VAULT alone indexes 9,156 files. Relevant materials were extracted, text-indexed and checked against current institutional or primary sources.
Private or confidential working documents are cited as records where they establish provenance, but are not republished here. Saved Wikipedia pages, search-result captures and unsourced timelines were useful for discovery—not as final authority.
Have a record to add? →The bibliography
“Company record” means a filing or first-party announcement. “Institutional history” comes from a museum or university. Reporting provides context but does not outrank a primary record.
