Field notes
The archive organizes five named lives into short passage sequences, including Mary Armstrong’s seven-part journey and Noah Davis’s 1859 autobiography. It pairs source links with archival photographs, spatial maps, animation, narration, and AI-generated imagery; the page explicitly says some workshop details are imagined and calls map routes illustrative connections. A reading-room navigation, favorites feature, daily app, and sign-in link are also visible, though the extract does not establish which features require an account.
