Field notes
Repastory groups its material by the kind of historical evidence being examined: kitchen recipes, printed advertisements, and menus from the table. Its stated editorial process keeps discoveries tied to original sources and includes a review step before public publication. The project is beginning with selected Good Housekeeping issues from 1930 or earlier, and the homepage uses an original illustration inspired by period advertising to establish its archival frame.
