Provenance and preservation

About this archive

This site preserves family-history material originally published across three Homestead websites.

What was captured

147 HTML pages and 684 locally hosted media or document files were captured on 27 July 2026.

How authenticity is recorded

Every captured object has a source URL, capture timestamp, media type, byte count, and SHA-256 checksum in the preservation manifest.

What was not restored

Obsolete trackers, guestbooks, email forms, weather widgets, and remote scripts are excluded from the modern site. Historical wording and source media remain unchanged.

Corrections and attribution

Historical text is transcribed verbatim. Corrections should be recorded as editorial notes without replacing the original wording.
