Meet the Expedition Team

Archivist · Sources
An archivist who has catalogued manuscript collections. Hye-jin leads our archive dispatches and verifies dates, references and sources.
How we file a dispatch
Every page starts with primary sources: the notebooks themselves, institutional catalogues and published editions. We cross-check dates against at least two reliable references and link readers to the archives so they can explore further. When we are unsure, we say so.
