Notes on reliability
- Organizational pages (A) record what the organization said about itself and about history. Historical claims in them rest chiefly on Dr. Cunningham’s research and are presented as his account.
- Representatives are shown only with the dates on which archived pages listed them.
- Where sources disagree — for example on publication years — the disagreement is recorded rather than resolved silently.
- Owner-supplied files (D) are private records; they are described, not reproduced.
