CHARACTER
Specimen record. An authored exemplar of the form; not an operational record.
RECORDED PROSE · AS FILED
A finding aid should eventually answer questions, not merely hold still while they are asked. Sketched here: a search over the catalogue apparatus, typed in the same mono as the frame, returning accessions rather than pages.
Parked deliberately. The holdings are young, the spine is short, and a reader can still take the whole register in at a glance. The project wakes when scrolling becomes the slower way to find a record.
