Crown Encyclopedia: Regalia Without the Mythmaking
A sourced reference guide to crowns, sceptres, orbs, and other British coronation objects.
Field notes
The catalog records each object’s ceremonial role, category, location, and institutional verification link, while encouraging readers to distinguish manufacture, alteration, and current use. The launch set covers eight objects, including the Ampulla and Coronation Spoon, and includes a 2023 adaptation of Queen Mary’s Crown. Machine-readable JSON and provenance CSV downloads make the reference useful beyond ordinary browsing, while a correction protocol and source register expose its intended accountability trail.
