01 / THE IDEA

Let the original
pages speak.

The photographs and accompanying text are already there. What was missing was a simple, beautiful way for people to find them, study them and trace them back to the page.

Built directly from Is Anambra State Cursed or Are We the Cause?, this archive preserves the scanned book as the primary record and adds a chapter index, image browser, search and permanent page links.

Not just a picture.
A page. A source.

The page is the unit of evidence here. Every photograph remains alongside its printed headings and captions, instead of being detached from its original setting.

PRESERVING THE SOURCE

History is clearer
when the evidence
stays visible.

This is a presentation of a historical government publication, not a claim that every statement or image in it has been independently verified. Its purpose is to make the source easier to examine and discuss.
