What this is
A living museum built on verified facts first, with open review notes where the history still needs stronger sourcing.
Mission
This museum is being built as a living archive. The structure comes first, then verified people, labels, clubs, records, cities, years, and sources are added without tearing the structure down.
The goal is not just to list names. It is to make the history clear, trustworthy, and worth returning to.

Chicago Foundation
Chicago is the front door of the archive, so the first layer begins with the clubs, DJs, and labels that shaped the culture.

Archive Standard
Every entry is built to work across timeline, search, and exhibit pages. Verified facts stay separate from notes, uncertain claims are flagged for review, and the archive grows by expansion rather than replacement.
