The Shoebox Museum asks family paper to prove itself

Field notes

The museum’s workflow combines archival handling, 600 dpi two-sided colour photography, and independent human checking of machine-proposed readings. It separates material verified from the page into Fact, broader recurring observations into Pattern, historical backdrop into Context, and unresolved material into Question. The sample exhibition is a 1976 Burmese dispensary notebook written in two directions and two traditions, with British pharmacopoeia formulas crossing Chinese herbal prescriptions; the page says it has so far yielded three kinds of remedies.
