Publishing and revisions
New guides are published when the research is ready, not to fill a calendar slot. Family diary entries appear when there is a milestone worth recording. This archive keeps the actual dates visible rather than implying a schedule the site does not follow.
Existing posts are revised when something changes on the ground — a system is replaced, a rule is amended, a place closes. Where a post has been materially updated, the revision date is shown alongside it below.
