Keeping context when an archive moves online
Scanning is only the beginning. Sources, versions, dates and search labels determine whether readers can understand a record.
Why a data label needs dates and definitions
Numbers in a chart need a defined scope. Update dates, units and missing values matter more than visual decoration.
After the rain: how gardens meet the street
Standing water reveals clues about terrain and drainage. Planting, maintenance and pedestrian paths should be considered together.
What remains of reading when the network is unreliable
Failed images should not hide the text. Clear status messages, lighter pages and copyable links reduce friction for readers.
Keeping the voices of an old street, not just its pictures
Oral records preserve everyday language and personal memories. Consent, original recordings and clear editing notes are equally important.

Regions may record river levels differently. Comparisons need measurement locations, times and units to be stated first.
Designing forms that everyone can complete
Labels cannot rely on placeholders, and errors cannot rely on colour alone. Keyboard access and clear next steps matter too.
