- One dossier asks how to study the recurring “Hatman” figure without treating a contemporary nickname as a scientific category.
Field notes
The homepage groups its material into research areas, thematic dossiers, publications, and center updates. Its stated approach emphasizes describing sources, comparing accounts, and preserving context; one listed publication explicitly questions whether “Hatman” should be treated as a scientific category. The center also says its 2026–2027 documentary campaign will continue cataloguing historical materials and public resources.
