Research notes and technical publications.
Historical intelligence infrastructure needs methods that preserve the relationship between a claim and its evidence. Geyserich’s developing research programme examines archival methodology, entity resolution and evidence graphs. These drafts set out proposed methods, design decisions and open research questions.
The initial collection contains editorial drafts prepared for review. These are proposed methods and design notes, not peer-reviewed publications, benchmarks or reports of completed partnerships.
