Keeping evidence separate from public documentation
Private Stash supports The Pirate Ray by keeping original research evidence in a restricted archive. Its role is preservation and traceability, while the companion public project presents material selected for wider sharing.
Preservation principles
- Retain original material without editing it in place.
- Record content hashes and provenance in an organized inventory.
- Classify material before considering any public use.
- Keep research notes and editorial decisions linked to their sources.
Public scope
