Field notes
The article set moves between production clues and personal traces: a label can carry production information, while an owner's inscription changes how an object is read. The project also treats catalog order as a choice that affects what a collection makes easy to find. Its homepage invites readers to suggest a publication, and says it distinguishes visible evidence from interpretation.
