Every record in this archive names a real object with a real artist, date, medium and holding institution. This page is the whole ledger, including the parts that are not finished.
24 of 24 written records have not passed rights verification.
Verified means a human has opened the source link, confirmed the item, and confirmed that the digital reproduction, not merely the underlying work, is free of restriction. Those are different questions. A public-domain painting photographed by an institution that licenses its photographs is not a public-domain photograph, and a non-commercial licence is not sufficient for a paid drop.
Nothing in the pipeline sets this flag automatically. The metadata generator refuses to emit an unverified record into the mintable set, and the production checklist blocks a drop while any record still reads false.
United Kingdom
Large open holdings in the history of medicine, mesmerism and spiritualism. Most digitised items carry a public-domain or CC BY mark stated per item; the per-item mark, not the site policy, is what a record must cite.
Rights policy ↗United States
Rights are assessed per item and the Library does not warrant status. A no-known-restrictions statement is a finding, not a licence.
Rights policy ↗United States
Public-domain items are flagged in the item record and are downloadable at high resolution.
Rights policy ↗International
Scanned natural-history literature contributed by many member libraries; the contributing library sets the rights statement, so two plates from one book can differ.
Rights policy ↗France
Free reuse is offered for non-commercial use; commercial reuse of the digital reproduction is a separate, paid permission. This distinction is exactly the trap docs/rights-and-provenance.md exists to catch.
Rights policy ↗Netherlands
Rijksstudio publishes public-domain works at high resolution with an explicit reuse permission.
Rights policy ↗United Kingdom
Holds photographic and instrument collections relevant to Volumes II and VI. Many images are CC BY-NC-SA, which is NOT sufficient for a paid drop.
Rights policy ↗United States
An aggregator, never a rights holder. A record may cite it as the scan location but must also name the contributing institution and the underlying rights position.
United States
Open Access items are released under CC0, stated per object.
Rights policy ↗United States
Open Content Program items are free to use; everything else is not.
Rights policy ↗United States
Open Access images of works believed to be in the public domain, released without restriction.
Rights policy ↗Unknown
A placeholder institution used only where the archive has a plate but not yet a confirmed custodian. Records citing it can never pass the production checklist: they are visible in the archive as explicitly unverified, and the metadata generator refuses to emit them for mint.
1904 to 1909 · Private holding, attribution pending
An illustrated French spiritualist volume of the Belle Époque, describing an invisible population living alongside the visible one and illustrating it in a decorative, hand-coloured style borrowed from the anatomical atlas. Attribution to Raffaele Mainella is recorded here as received and has not yet been confirmed against a held copy.
1840 to 1899 · Wellcome Collection
A working grouping, not a historical publication: the mesmeric and magnetic-fluid plates in which a second body is drawn over or through the first. Used across Volumes I and IV.
1862 to 1935 · Science Museum Group
Photographic extras and manifestation portraits, including the substantial documented literature of exposure and confession that accompanies them. The archive keeps the exposure alongside the image in every case.
1750 to 1900 · Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division
Astronomical and cosmological diagram plates, from genuine observational charts to hand-drawn systems of correspondence sold as astronomy.
1800 to 1910 · Biodiversity Heritage Library
Nineteenth-century neurological and physiological plate books, in which the nervous system is drawn as a tree, a river system or a weather pattern rather than as tissue.
1850 to 1920 · Internet Archive
Printed sitting reports and society proceedings recording domestic séances, including the apparatus, the seating and the weather. Mostly text, which is why several Volume V records have no plate.
1780 to 1930 · Science Museum Group
Instrument catalogues, patent drawings and museum object records for automata, orreries, telegraphic apparatus and the machines built to detect what could not be detected.
1800 to 1960 · The New York Public Library, Digital Collections
Fire-insurance atlases, topographic views and photographic surveys made immediately before demolition, when a city was documented precisely because it was about to stop existing.
1700 to 1900 · Biodiversity Heritage Library
Metamorphosis and developmental-series plates from natural-history literature, in which one creature is drawn several times in the process of becoming another.
1840 to 1920 · Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division
Post-mortem photography, memorial prints and the printed literature of apparent death. Treated with the restraint set out in Volume IX.
1750 to 1930 · The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Cartomancy decks, almanac frontispieces, physiognomic charts and prediction ephemera. Commercial print, and recorded as such.
1600 to 1960 · Private holding, attribution pending
The residue: plates with contested attribution, illegible captions or two incompatible catalogue entries. Volume XI is assembled from this grouping, and every record drawn from it is marked unverified by construction.
