Sources

Where the evidence comes from now, and where it will come from as the site widens to other regions and languages.

How to read this page

  • Cited now means at least one record cites this publisher. Every document the records cite is listed on the full list of 88 sources.
  • Planned entries are not yet evidence. Nothing has been read from them, and no record rests on them.
  • A quotation is kept in its original language. A translation is never marked checked until a named reader of that language has checked it.

The base in numbers

19 publishers cited now, 49 planned, in 6 languages: Arabic, English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Swahili.

Whether each home page answered an automated request was checked on 26 Oct 2026. A home page that answers does not mean its documents can be read.
