FROM THE ARCHIVE
Some materials arrive with clear provenance.
Others do not.
A few remain difficult to explain conclusively.
The purpose of the archive is not to prove extraordinary claims, but to preserve unusual objects, unresolved records, and the human experiences that emerge when people engage with them. The artifact is the doorway. The participant is the story.
