Preservation principles

Records woven to last

Material memory carries the record

Every entry keeps fiber source, dye note, and maker attribution beside the object.

Geometry orients the story

Stepped diamonds, lightning paths, and band counts become searchable structure.

Color names the land

Cochineal, indigo, lichen ochre, and undyed wool are recorded as materials first.

Care outlives the catalog

Handling limits, return protocols, and community review travel with each file.
