Read the story →These are newly prepared research articles, separate from the restored historical pages. The original ten articles have series dates running from September 24 to October 21, 2026. Those original ten were prepared and first published on .
The dates group the series within that period; they do not describe when an archived event happened or when these new texts first became available. The original series sources were checked in October 2026. Later articles show their own publication dates and source-check dates. Historical statements remain attached to their documents and observation periods.
The archive project prepared the articles with AI assistance and checked their factual claims against the linked records. No interviews or site visits are implied. Current service information belongs with Warren County.
