Dataset

Contributor and byline census

One row per contributor record: printed name, roles and span as the archive states them, counts of recovered work, and verified external identity links where the archive holds them.

Coverage
243 contributor records. Identity URLs appear only for people whose identity the archive has verified against a first-party source; an empty cell means no verified identity is held, not that none exists.
Methodology
Names, roles and spans come from the curated contributor records. Article, staff-box and artwork counts are computed from the same records that populate each contributor page.
Rights
Descriptive metadata created by the archive is released under CC0 1.0. Rights in the underlying articles, photographs and artwork remain with their authors; the rows describe those works and do not license them.
